Publius Ovidius Naso, whom we know as Ovid, was already established as a writer when The Metamorphoses was published in A.D. 8, when he was 52 years old. It had taken him a decade to compose his great poem, during which time he published little, but the Roman world was still abuzz with excitement over his richly erotic Art of Love. So, unfortunately, was the court of Augustus Caesar, and the emperor banished the poet to what is now Romania. Augustus may have taken exception to the poet's turn to the impolite realm of the body--or he may have objected to a rumored affair between Ovid and the emperor's nymphomaniacal daughter Julia, who figures so prominently in Robert Graves's Claudius novels. The poet who had declared Rome to be his only home could have found no worse punishment than exile, but no amount of pleading could sway Augustus, and Ovid died on the shores of the Black Sea a decade later. Full of veiled political and historical references, The Metamorphoses lived on to become a permanent fixture in the canon of European literature. In Allen Mandelbaum's hands, it lives on for a new generation.

评分 评分看奥维德的《变形记》时发现两个比较有趣的小故事,一个是日神之子法厄同驾车,另一个是伊卡洛斯的坠落。两者都是有关坠落的故事,但结局与其中含义却稍有不同。 日神阿波罗是一个风度翩翩的天神,掌管着太阳的升起落下与诗歌音乐,他与海神之女克吕墨涅生下了法厄同。一次法厄...
评分看完《变形记》,基本上已经明白了各种神,Zeus、Mars……看完此书再去看卢浮宫,去欧洲旅行,所见的雕塑、油画,80%都已经知道谁是谁,并且描绘、刻画了什么故事。很多人只知道看《古希腊神话》,可是这本书只编写了皮毛,看完了你依然有很大一部分的神不知道是谁,也看不懂雕...
评分于是真的可以假装读完了~
