These are some of the most famous Roman myths as you've never read them before--sensuous, dangerously witty, audacious--from the fall of Troy to birth of the minotaur, and many others that only appear in the \u003ci\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/i\u003e. Connected together by the immutable laws of change and metamorphosis, the myths tell the story of the world from its creation up to the transformation of Julius Caesar from man into god.\u003cbr\u003eIn the ten-beat, unrhymed lines of this now-legendary and widely praised translation, Rolfe Humphries captures the spirit of Ovid's swift and conversational language, bringing the wit and sophistication of the Roman poet to modern readers.\u003cbr\u003eThis special annotated edition includes new, comprehensive commentary and notes by Joseph D. Reed, Professor of Classics and Comparative Literature at Brown University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoet and critic Rolfe Humphries (1894-1969) also translated Virgil's \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c\/i\u003e, Lucretius's \u003ci\u003eOn the Nature of Things\u003c\/i\u003e, Ovid's \u003ci\u003eArt of Love\u003c\/i\u003e, and Juvenal's \u003ci\u003eSatires.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoseph D.
