About This Item
New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1997. 1st American Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Quarter black cloth, blue paper boards. x, 257 pp. Fine. The Metamorphoses of Ovid stands with the great works of Homer, Virgil, Dante, and Milton as a classic of world poetry. Ted Hughes, one of the most admired and widely read of living poets, has now translated with 24 stories from the Metamorphoses. The result, Tales from Ovid, is the most vigorous and supple 20th century version of this foundational work, at once a delight for the Latinist and an appealing introduction to Ovid for the general reader.
