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.

评分《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...
