OvidтАЩs famous mock epicтАФa treasury of myth and magic that is one of the greatest literary works of classical antiquityтАФis rendered into fluidly poetic English by world-renowned translator Allen Mandelbaum.
Roman poet OvidтАЩs dazzling cycle of tales begins with the creation of the world and ends with the deification of Caesar Augustus. In between is a glorious panoply of the most famous myths and legends of the ancient Greek and Roman worldтАФfrom EchoтАЩs passion for Narcissus to PygmalionтАЩs living statue, from PerseusтАЩs defeat of Medusa to the fall of Troy. Retold with OvidтАЩs irreverent flair, these tales are united by the theme of metamorphosis, as men and women are rendered alien to themselves, turned variously to flowers, trees, animals, and stones. The closest thing to a central character is love itselfтАФa confounding, transforming, irrational force that makes fools of gods and mortals alike.
The poemтАЩs playful verses, both sensually earthy and wittily sophisticated, have reverberated through the centuries, inspiring countless artists and writers from Shakespeare to the present. Frequently translated, imitated, and adapted, The Metamorphoses has lost none of its power to provoke and entertain.
