Metamorphoses is an epic poem but is very different from what we
expect in an epic. Original, inventive and charming, the poem tells
the stories of myths featuring transformations, from the creation
of the universe to the death and deification of Julius Caesar. Book
III concentrates on the House of Thebes, and this selection details
the story of Pentheus and his tragic end after refusing to
acknowledge the god Bacchus. This edition contains the Latin text
as well as in-depth commentary notes which provide language
support, explanation of difficult words and phrases, and analysis
of literary features as well as information on the background to
the story. The introduction presents an overview of Ovid in his
historical and literary context, as well as a plot synopsis and a
discussion of the literary genre and metre. All words in the text
are given in a full vocabulary at the end and there are also
suggestions for further reading. This is the prescribed edition of
the verse set text for OCR's AS GCE Classics Latin qualification,
for examination from 2015 to 2017 inclusive.
