Metamorphoses

Stanley Lombardo's translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses revitalizes this classic, presenting it as a cohesive work of art rather than just a collection of myths. Lombardo captures the poem's diverse emotions, from brutality to tenderness, with a dynamic and engaging style. The edition features an insightful introduction by W. R. Johnson, which explores key themes and the poet's masterful techniques. Additional resources such as an analytical table of contents, a catalog of transformations, and a glossary enhance the reader's experience.
