Description

This edited edition of Stanley Lombardo's translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses includes an Introduction by W. R. Johnson. "Stanley Lombardo successfully matches Ovid's human drama, imaginative brio, and irresistible momentum; and Ralph Johnson's superb Introduction to Ovid's 'narratological paradise' is a bonus to this new and vigorous translation that should not be missed." -Elaine Fantham, Giger Professor of Latin, Emerita, Princeton University
