+ indexes to all volumes, completes this distinguished edition of the Metamorphoses.
Of the previous volume "It is all we could hope for, with excellent translation, fuller understanding from the notes and an extensive bibliography. The text is attractively and conveniently laid out, with Latin and translation en face. The translation is in blank verse for the English reader while being stimulating and thought-provoking for the Latinist. The notes too make interesting reading at any level, with a vast store of information from a multitude of sources ..." LACT

SOME COMMENTS BY REVIEWERS
"D.E. Hill's distinguished series of commentaries on the
Metamorphoses is now complete, and stands as a valuable
aid to students of Ovid, accessible to Latinist and non-Latinist
alike." "The translation ... is, as ever, clear, elegant
and faithful to the original." "The notes offer a welcome
abundance of references both to Ovid's sources and to secondary
literature ... They are concise and accessible, and no unusual
name or epithet goes unexplained." "This is a book which
will be of particular use to students at sixth form and undergraduate
levels, but which also provides a mine of information to be exploited
by anyone with an interest in the Metamorphoses."
