Composed in Latin in the early years of the first century by the Roman poet Ovid, the Metamorphoses presents a collection of amazing tales of transformation based on Greek mythology and legend. Michael Simpson's prose translation of Ovid's masterpiece in the rapid and direct American idiom catches the swiftness and clarity of the Latin original. His introduction sketches the poet's life, describes his extant works, discusses his unusual exile to the west coast of the Black Sea (where he died), and provides a useful context for reading the Metamorphoses. Simpson has also prepared extensive endnotes that serve as mini-essays, illuminating the manifold aspects of the poem and offering commentary and interpretation that enable readers to enter Ovid's magical world and enjoy its richness.
《变形记》是一本很生动的讲述罗马神话英雄传说的书,相较于《伊利亚特》,它看起来没有那么吃力。我觉得可能是题材的原因。《伊利亚特》不注重男女情爱的描写,战争和血腥场面比较多,而且英雄人物往往扎堆出场,还要各自介绍家族财产世系,从阅读这方面来讲,阻断了故事的连...

评分贺拉斯的《诗艺》没有延续柏拉图的迷狂说与德谟克利特相信艺术的天才的传统,他提出的是“判断力是开端和源泉。”(这里判断力可做智慧、正确的思考等解,即“适度”、“合理”之意。)他更相信艺术除天才外也需要适度的训练与反复的修改,他更多将艺术创作拉回到理性的地位。...
评分格吕纽斯的眼睛被那双叉的鹿角刺穿,眼珠被挤了出来,一个眼珠还粘在鹿角上,一个沿着他的胡须滚下来,裹着凝结的血,垂挂着。……受了伤的卡拉克素斯把乱发上的贪婪火焰甩掉,搬起一块阶石,扛到肩上,这块石头很重,足可以装一车,因为太重了,无法向敌人投出去。他的战友科...
