"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.

寒假前在图书馆里发现一本朴素的小册子——奥维德的《变形记》（人民文学出版社，1984年）。尽管译本序言的评论中还存留着阶级分析的笔调，尽管这个译本只是选译，并不算是完整版，然而翻开泛黄的书页，一段段神话小故事依然令人感到趣味昂然，不忍释卷。 　　 　　《变形...  

用户评价

伟大的抒情叙事诗，古典时期的grande folie与elegance的力量很震撼。美与暴力，爱情与仇恨，亲情与背叛，矛盾迸发激情。金句不断，人马战役的描写是全书最好的战争描写。翻译有点迷，英文翻译届喜欢用非常现代的语言，但有点出戏。

翻译得太美了 尤其是最后一章 “It will endure, I trust, beyond Jove's anger, fire and sword, beyond time's hunger...part of me, the better part, immortal
