In its earthiness, its psychological acuity, this classic work continues to speak over the centuries to our time. Reading Mandelbaum's extraordinary translation, one imagines Ovid in his darkest moods with the heart of Baudelaire...Brilliant. -- Booklist<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>The Metamorphoses is a treasury of classical myths, filtered through the worldly and far from reverent sensibility of the Roman poet Ovid (43 B.C-A.D.17).
