The Metamorphosis: a New Verse Translation

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.
