OVID Metamorphoses V­VIII


Ovid's Metamorphoses is a work which displays his mature genius and is a treasure house of mythology. This volume continues the Metamorphoses in the same style as books I­IV; with a line by line translation and notes which trace Ovid's sources and his influence on literature and art. It has, however, been designed to stand alone or to be read as a sequel to the earlier volume.

DONALD HILL is head of the department of Classics at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and editor of Ovids' Metamorphoses I­IV, IX­XII and XIII­XV in this series.
