Twenty-four of Ovid’s Metamorphoses beautifully translated
by Ted Hughes. Much better examples of the quality of Ovid’s poetry, though he is
still no Virgil. Many of the tales/myths that have entered western civilization
down to the present, such as Echo and Narcissus, Tiresias, Venus and Adonis, Midas,
etc. Though I have always been more interested in the Greeks, glad to have filled
this gap in my education.
