Hughes Ted - Tales From Ovid 24 Passages From The Metamorphoses - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: A powerful version of the Latin classic by England's late Poet Laureate now in paperback. When it was published in 1997, Tales from Ovid was immediately recognized as a classic in its own right as the best rendering of Ovid in generations and as a major book in Ted Hughes's oeuvre. The Metamorphoses of Ovid stands with the works of Homer Virgil Dante and Milton as a classic of world poetry; Hughes translated twenty - four of its stories with great power and directness. The result is the liveliest twentieth - century version of the classic at once a delight for the Latinist and an appealing introduction to Ovid for the general reader.
