Ovid: Metamorphoses Books VVIII

Ovids poetical career reached its climax in his masterpiece, the Metamorphoses. The work displays his mature genius and has become a standard treasure-house of mythology for all succeeding generations. The complete work has been edited for this series by Donald Hill. Each volume includes the Latin text with a line by line parallel prose translation, and notes which trace Ovids sources and his influence on literature and art. The volumes stand alone, but the whole is complete in four volumes, and the final volume contains a complete index. Metamorphoses Books VVIII is the second of the four volumes, the others are: Metamorphoses Books IIV (1985), Metamorphoses Books IXXII (1999) and Metamorphoses Books XIIIXV with complete index (2000).
