Summary
Bringing together a series of ingeniously linked myths and legends, Ovid's deliciously witty and poignant Metamorphoses describes a magical world in which men and women are transformed - often by love - into flowers, trees, animals, stones and stars. First published in 1567, this landmark translation by Arthur Golding was the first major English edition of the epic, which includes such tales as the legend of Narcissus; the parable of Icarus; and the passion held by the witch-queen Circe for the great Aeneas. A compelling adaptation that used imagery familiar to English sixteenth-century society, it powerfully influenced Spenser, Shakespeare and the character of Elizabethan literature.
First line
I AM nitidum retegente diem noctisque fugante tempora Lucifero cadit eurus, et umida surgunt nubila: dant placidi cursum redeuntibus austri Aeacidis Cephaloque, quibus feliciter acti ante exspectatum portus tenuere petitos.

Description:
Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1983. First paperback ed.1983. XXX,168p. Paperback. Tail spine bit false glued. Stamp 'damaged' on title page. 'An up-to-date commentary on an attractive book of the 'Metamorphoses' such as Book VIII is greatly to be welcomed (...). Hollis writes easily and agreeably, and his commentary can be read with pleasure as well as with profit. (...) Hollis has read Homer and the Hellenistic poets, also the papyrus fragments and the mythographical sources, to excellent effect; and the material which he has collected to illustrate the origins of the stories used by Ovid and their treatment by other writers is of great value. (...) Where I think that guidance and illustration are lacking is in the matter of Ovidian usage and latinity.' (E.J. KENNEY in The Classical Review (New Series), 1972, pp.214-16).
