Publius Ovidius Naso, whom we know as Ovid, was already established as a writer when The Metamorphoses was published in A.D. 8, when he was 52 years old. It had taken him a decade to compose his great poem, during which time he published little, but the Roman world was still abuzz with excitement over his richly erotic Art of Love. So, unfortunately, was the court of Augustus Caesar, and the emperor banished the poet to what is now Romania. Augustus may have taken exception to the poet's turn to the impolite realm of the body--or he may have objected to a rumored affair between Ovid and the emperor's nymphomaniacal daughter Julia, who figures so prominently in Robert Graves's Claudius novels. The poet who had declared Rome to be his only home could have found no worse punishment than exile, but no amount of pleading could sway Augustus, and Ovid died on the shores of the Black Sea a decade later. Full of veiled political and historical references, The Metamorphoses lived on to become a permanent fixture in the canon of European literature. In Allen Mandelbaum's hands, it lives on for a new generation.

評分作者用豐富的想象力,根據神話傳說的某些外錶聯係,將它們串連起來。為瞭使情節生動,作者采用瞭不同的敘述手法,使許多著名的古代神話傳說得到精彩的描述。最喜歡“鄉人變蛙的故事”那個故事。奧維德通過變形計代錶瞭從和平時期逐漸到思想獨裁時期所産生的隱含的對君主的狹隘...
