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.
