Metamorphoses is an epic-style, narrative poem written in
hexameters. 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 X
contains some of Ovid's most memorable stories: Orpheus and
Eurydice, Pygmalion, Atalanta and Hippomenes (with the race for the
golden apples), Venus and Adonis, and Myrrha. This edition contains
the Latin text as well as in-depth commentary notes which provide
language support, explain difficult words and phrases, highlight
literary features and supply background knowledge. The introduction
presents an overview of Ovid and the historical and literary
context, as well as a plot synopsis and a discussion of the
literary genre and metre. Suggested reading is also included.
