📗 Libro en inglés METAMORPHOSES (OXFORD WORLD S CLASSICS)

Metamorphoses--the best-known poem by one of the wittiest poets of classical antiquity--takes as its theme change and transformation, as illustrated by Greco-Roman myth and legend. Melville''s new translation reproduces the grace and fluency of Ovid''s style, and its modern idiom offers a fresh understanding of Ovid''s unique and elusive vision of reality. `This translation will quickly establish itself as _the_ transation for English speaking readers and students of this great Augustan epic.'' Dr A.H.F. Griffin, University of Exeter ''a work of the highest quality which provides pleasure and information in generous measure.'' JACT Review
