Metamorphoses

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 freshunderstanding of Ovid's unique and elusive vision of reality.
