Ovid's Metamorphoses is one of the most influential works of
Western literature, inspiring artists and writers from Titian to
Shakespeare to Salman Rushdie. These are some of the most famous
Roman myths as you've never read them before-sensuous, dangerously
witty, audacious-from the fall of Troy to birth of the minotaur,
and many others that only appear in the Metamorphoses. Connected
together by the immutable laws of change and metamorphosis, the
myths tell the story of the world from its creation up to the
transformation of Julius Caesar from man into god. In the ten-beat,
unrhymed lines of this now-legendary and widely praised
translation, Rolfe Humphries captures the spirit of Ovid's swift
and conversational language, bringing the wit and sophistication of
the Roman poet to modern readers. This special annotated edition
includes new, comprehensive commentary and notes by Joseph D. Reed,
Professor of Classics and Comparative Literature at Brown
University.
