Tales from Ovid: 24 Passages from the Metamorphoses,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A powerful version of the Latin classic by England's late Poet Laureate, now in paperback.When it was published in 1997, Tales from Ovid was immediately recognized as a classic in its own right, as the best rendering of Ovid in generations, and as a major book in Ted Hughes's oeuvre. The Metamorphoses of Ovid stands with the works of Homer, Virgil, Dante, and Milton as a classic of world poetry; Hughes translated twentyfour of its stories with great power and directness. The result is the liveliest twentiethcentury version of the classic, at once a delight for the Latinist and an appealing introduction to Ovid for the general reader.
