George Rolfe Humphries (born November 20, 1894 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - April 22, 1969 Redwood City, California) was a poet, translator, and teacher.
"The Metamorphoses of Ovid offers to the modern world such a key to the literary and religious culture of the ancients that it becomes an important event when at last a good poet comes up with a translation into English verse." -- John Crowe Ransom"... a charming and expert English version, which is right in tone for the Metamorphoses." -- Francis Fergusson"This new Ovid, fresh and faithful, is right for our time and should help to restore a great reputation." -- Mark Van DorenThe first and still the best modern verse translation of the Metamorphoses, Humphries' version of Ovid's masterpiece captures its wit, merriment, and sophistication.Everyone will enjoy this first modern translation by an American poet of Ovid's great work, the major treasury of classical mythology, which has perennially stimulated the minds of men. In this lively rendering there are no stock props of the pastoral and no literary landscaping, but real food on the table and sometimes real blood on the ground.Not only is Ovid's Metamorphoses a collection of all the myths of the time of the Roman poet as he knew them, but the book presents at the same time a series of love poems -- about the loves of men, women, and the gods. There are also poems of hate, to give the proper shading to the narrative. And pervading all is the writer's love for this earth, its people, its phenomena.Using ten-beat, unrhymed lines in his translation, Rolfe Humphries shows a definite kinship for Ovid's swift and colloquial language and Humphries' whole poetic manner is in tune with the wit and sophistication of the Roman poet.

評分作者用丰富的想象力,根据神话传说的某些外表联系,将它们串连起来。为了使情节生动,作者采用了不同的叙述手法,使许多著名的古代神话传说得到精彩的描述。最喜欢“乡人变蛙的故事”那个故事。奥维德通过变形计代表了从和平时期逐渐到思想独裁时期所产生的隐含的对君主的狭隘...
評分全书共十五卷,囊括了从开天辟地到作者所在的吴大维时期整个宇宙史。 《变形记》将大量罗马人熟悉的神话传说已故事套故事的框架串联起来,其中包括:世界形成,丢卡利翁和皮拉 (大洪水),皮刺摩斯和提斯柏,代达罗斯和伊卡洛斯以及珀耳狄克斯,鲍西丝和费莱蒙,巴图斯,纳西...
評分行至幽暗的地府边缘,人界的微光已于眼前可触,但他的身后是那样悄寂,俄耳甫斯忍不住回头,看看妻子是否跟在身后。于是——誓言被打破,欧律狄刻发出小鸟一样的悲鸣,坠入黑暗的渊底。 这一回头成就了一出永恒的爱情悲剧,本不该遭受的命运降临了,人们哀叹并自警。文字于此...

偉大的抒情敘事詩,古典時期的grande folie與elegance的力量很震撼。美與暴力,愛情與仇恨,親情與背叛,矛盾迸發激情。金句不斷,人馬戰役的描寫是全書最好的戰爭描寫。翻譯有點迷,英文翻譯屆喜歡用非常現代的語言,但有點齣戲。
评分翻譯得太美瞭 尤其是最後一章 “It will endure, I trust, beyond Jove's anger, fire and sword, beyond time's hunger...part of me, the better part, immortal
