Metamorphoses (Oxford Worlds Classics)
by By Ovid, Melville, A. D. (TRN), and Kenney, E. J. (INT)
Category: Poetry , European , General

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.
