Description and Table of Contents
Description
Perhaps the greatest ancient compilation of Western myths, this book includes the stories of Jove, Apollo, Mercury, and Venus. The first English translation, originally published in 1567, introduced Ovid's work to Shakespeare and inspired many of his plays. Golding's version brings to English Ovid's history of the Trojan War and the rise of Rome, and ends with the story of Julius Caesar. Also included are the famous myths of Pyramus and Thisbe, Jason and Medea, Orpheus, Hercules, and Pygmalion. A glossary makes the text accessible to all readers.
