Review
"The Metamorphoses of Ovid offers to the modern world such a key to the literary and religious culture of the ancients that it becomes an important event when at last a good poet comes up with a translation into English verse." - John Crowe Ransom " ... a charming and expert English version, which is right in tone for the Metamorphoses." - Francis Fergusson "This new Ovid, fresh and faithful, is right for our time and should help to restore a great reputation." - Mark Van Doren
