Ovid's Metamorphoses gains its ideal twenty-first-century herald in Stanley Lombardo's bracing translation of a wellspring of Western art and literature that is too often treated, even by poets, as a mere vehicle for the scores of myths it recasts and transmits rather than as a unified work of art with epic-scale ambitions of its own. Such misconceptions are unlikely to survive a reading of Lombardo's rendering, which vividly mirrors the brutality, sadness, comedy, irony, tenderness, and eeriness of Ovid's vast world as well as the poem’s effortless pacing. Under Lombardo's spell, neither Argus nor anyone else need fear nodding off.
The translation is accompanied by an exhilarating Introduction by W. R. Johnson that unweaves and reweaves many of the poem’s most important themes while showing how the poet achieves some of his most brilliant effects.
An analytical table of contents, a catalog of transformations, and a glossary are also included.

评分看完《变形记》，基本上已经明白了各种神，Zeus、Mars……看完此书再去看卢浮宫，去欧洲旅行，所见的雕塑、油画，80%都已经知道谁是谁，并且描绘、刻画了什么故事。很多人只知道看《古希腊神话》，可是这本书只编写了皮毛，看完了你依然有很大一部分的神不知道是谁，也看不懂雕...
