This edited edition of Stanley Lombardo's translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses includes an Introduction by W. R. Johnson.
Stanley Lombardo successfully matches Ovids human drama, imaginative brio, and irresistible momentum; and Ralph Johnsons superb Introduction to Ovid's 'narratological paradise' is a bonus to this new and vigorous translation that should not be missed."
