The Metamorphoses

I think this version is terrific. The light enjambed English hexameters are a great success. The effect is properly propulsive.’ – Prof A D Nuttall, Oxford Ovid’s deliciously witty and exuberant epic starts with the creation of the world and brings together a series of ingeniously linked Greek and Roman myths and legends in which men and women are transformed, often by love – into flowers, trees, stones and stars. This new verse translation, in simple and swift English hexameters, allows Ovid’s narrative to flow – pulling the reader along with it. —- ISBN: 9780140447897 | ISBN10: 014044789X | ISBN-13: 978-0140447897
