The Metamorphoses, Hardback Book

The Metamorphoses Hardback

Part of the Everyman's Library CLASSICS series

Hardback

Description

One of the founding texts of Western literature, the Metamorphoses is nevertheless anything but earnest or off-putting.

Ovid’s sequence of fifteen witty and playful poems sketches the history of the world from its creation to the poet’s own time through a series of transformation myths in which gods and goddesses succumb to all-too-human passions, not least in the matter of love.

Frequently translated, imitated and paraphrased.
