图书简介
In The Metamorphoses, Ovid collects and intertwines dozens of Roman myths and legends, each focusing on a transformation of some kind. The stories are reimagined with a charming, light touch, as humans are transformed into plants, animals, and even stars. Some people may know The Metamorphoses for its basis in Greek and Roman mythology, but the text's true strength comes from Ovid's witty, playful voice. Arthur Golding's 16th century translation – the first major English edition - brings Ovid's work to life with a rich imagery, intricate descriptions and clever wordplay. The stories in The Metamorphoses influenced the likes of Spenser, Shakespeare, and many other writers throughout history. Overall, this book is perfect for readers who enjoy classic literature with some magical and thought-provoking elements.
