Composed in Latin in the early years of the first century by the Roman poet Ovid, the Metamorphoses presents a collection of amazing tales of transformation based on Greek mythology and legend. Michael Simpson's prose translation of Ovid's masterpiece in the rapid and direct American idiom catches the swiftness and clarity of the Latin original. His introduction sketches the poet's life, describes his extant works, discusses his unusual exile to the west coast of the Black Sea (where he died), and provides a useful context for reading the Metamorphoses. Simpson has also prepared extensive endnotes that serve as mini-essays, illuminating the manifold aspects of the poem and offering commentary and interpretation that enable readers to enter Ovid's magical world and enjoy its richness.

評分賀拉斯的《詩藝》沒有延續柏拉圖的迷狂說與德謨剋利特相信藝術的天纔的傳統,他提齣的是“判斷力是開端和源泉。”(這裏判斷力可做智慧、正確的思考等解,即“適度”、“閤理”之意。)他更相信藝術除天纔外也需要適度的訓練與反復的修改,他更多將藝術創作拉迴到理性的地位。...
