Ovids Metamorphoses gains its ideal twenty-first-century herald in Stanley Lombardos bracing translation of a wellspring of Western art and literature that is too often treated, even by poets, as a mere vehicle for the scores of myths it recasts and transmits rather than as a unified work of art with epic-scale ambitions of its own. Such misconceptions are unlikely to survive a reading of Lombardos rendering, which vividly mirrors the brutality, sadness, comedy, irony, tenderness, and eeriness of Ovids vast world as well as the poems effortless pacing. Under Lombardos spell, neither Argus nor anyone else need fear nodding off. The translation is accompanied by an exhilarating Introduction by W. R. Johnson that unweaves and reweaves many of the poems most important themes while showing how the poet achieves some of his most brilliant effects. An analytical table of contents, a catalog of transformations, and a glossary are also included.
