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. 606 $aMythology, Classical$vPoetry 606 $aMetamorphosis$xMythology$vPoetry 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMythology, Classical 615 0$aMetamorphosis$xMythology 676 $a873/.01 702 $aHumphries$b Rolfe 702 $aReed$b J.
