Synopsis :

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.

Description: 'This is a volume of which both Hopkinson and Cambridge can be proud.' The Classical Review

'Metamorphoses Book XIII, one of the most 'Greek' books of the Ovidian poem, has received a commentary by a distinguished Hellenist, a commentary which turns out to be one of the best Latin examples in the Cambridge 'green-and-yellow' series … a fresh, exciting and perceptive reading of this important book. It will be a precious tool for all Ovidian scholars.' Journal of Roman Studies

'This edition of, and commentry on, Book XIII of Ovid's Metamorphoses ...strikes me as particularly satisfactory and commendable... There are very few things I miss here...' Arctos
