Certainly, Vergil's work must not be overlooked, with his excellent style and powerful emotion (a favorite scene of mine is the death of Laocoon); however, Ovid surpasses Rome's poet laureate by leaps and bounds: Ovid's dactylic ...             Tales from Ovid: 24 Passages from the Metamorphoses Ted Hughes Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1999 Re: Yeah Man To answer bayoubill's question regarding this book: "When will he translate the rest of the Metamorphoses? The Odyssey?" While that would have been great to see, Ted Hughes died about a year after the publication of Tales from Ovid. Ted's dead, bayoubill. Ted's ...             The Metamorphoses of Ovid Ovid, Allen Mandelbaum Harvest/HBJ Book, 1995 Everything a book should be Sumptuous, gorgeous. From the creation of the world to the birth of Julius Caesar. If only the Bible was written as well or made as much sense. And how thrilling to discover Shakespeare stealing wholesale from it: eg. Titania's "Nine men's morris" comes from Medea. One ...             Metamorphoses (Oxford World's Classics) Ovid Oxford University Press, USA, 1998 Things change... Maidens become trees. Young hunks turn into flowers. Men become women; women become invincible warriors. And every time you blink, another poor wretch becomes a bird or turns to stone. In Ovid's Metamorphosis, nothing stays the same for long. A rich compendium of ...             Polaroid Stories Naomi Iizuka Dramatic Pub Co, 1999             Pictor's Metamorphoses: And Other Fantasies Hermann Hesse Picador, 2003 MAGIC this book has followed me throughout my life, and has never been topped by another. He was, and is, the author closest to my heart.             Metamorphoses (Penguin Classics) Ovid Penguin Classics, 2004 Excellent edition and translation After reading the old Penguin edition of this work, I was amazed at the improvement in not only the translation, but the organization and supplemental material as well. The old edition I read was written in prose (yuck), the translation was was dry and boring, the text ...             Metamorphoses: A New Translation by Charles Martin Ovid W. W. Norton & Company, 2005 A great classic and great translation Ovid, or Publius Ovidius Naso, justly deserves his acclaim as one of the three canonical poets of Latin literature alongside Horace and Virgil. And he knows it and doesn't bother to hide it, as he appends this bit of encomium to himself at the very end: My work is ...             Metamorphoses: A Play Mary Zimmerman Northwestern University Press, 2002 I got a chance to perform in Metamorphoses at my university! I was cast in this play and trust me when I say this is a great script. Not because of what it contains- but because of what it doesn't. Mary Zimmerman has left so much of her play open for interpretation, and we certainly took that to heart. The poetry of Ovid is ...             Ovid's Metamorphoses : The Arthur Golding Translation of 1567 John Nims, John Frederick Nims Paul Dry Books, 2000 Thirty-five Years Buy this book before it goes out of print for another thirty-five years! If Golding's Ovid is not, "the most beautiful book in the language," it's among the top two-dozen "most beautiful books" you can find in English. I've searched for a second-hand copy of the ...             Ovid's Metamorphoses (Oxford Approaches to Classical Literature) Elaine Fantham Oxford University Press, USA, 2004 Oxford Approaches to Classical Literature (Series Editors: Kathleen Coleman and Richard Rutherford) introduces individual works of Greek and Latin literature to readers who are approaching them for the first time. Each volume sets the work in its literary and historical context, and aims to offer a balanced and engaging assessment of its content, ...             Ovid's Metamorphoses Ovid The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2002 Glorious English! Of course it is for Golding's translation ITSELF that this book is valuable. You might ask yourself, who is the author of this Metamorphosis, Ovid or Golding? Is the book less artistically important because it is Golding's vision of Ovid rather than an unprocessed ...             Metamorphoses (The Golden Ass), I: Books 1-6 (Loeb Classical Library) Apuleius Loeb Classical Library, 1990 a prose classic This early prose work by a North African writer, _The Golden Ass_, is a classic.
