Prized through the ages for its splendor and its savage, sophisticated wit, The Metamorphoses is a masterpiece of Western culture--the first attempt to link all the Greek myths, before and after Homer, in a cohesive whole, to the Roman myths of Ovids day. Horace Gregory, in this modern translation, turns his poetic gifts toward a deft reconstruction of Ovids ancient themes, using contemporary idiom to bring todays reader all the ageless drama and psychological truths vividly intact. --From the book jacket
