Ovid's Metamorphoses gains its ideal twenty-first-century herald in Stanley Lombardo's bracing translation of a wellspring of Western art and literature that is too often treated, even by poets, as a mere vehicle for the scores of myths it recasts and transmits rather than as a unified work of art with epic-scale ambitions of its own. Such misconceptions are unlikely to survive a reading of Lombardo's rendering, which vividly mirrors the brutality, sadness, comedy, irony, tenderness, and eeriness of Ovid's vast world as well as the poem’s effortless pacing. Under Lombardo's spell, neither Argus nor anyone else need fear nodding off.
The translation is accompanied by an exhilarating Introduction by W. R. Johnson that unweaves and reweaves many of the poem’s most important themes while showing how the poet achieves some of his most brilliant effects.
An analytical table of contents, a catalog of transformations, and a glossary are also included.

評分 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。...
評分話說某天,我正在寢室裏以腳蹬桌兩椅腳懸空的悠閑姿勢看著《變形記》裏法厄同駕日神車的故事,室友突然破門而入,一幅怒發上衝冠的樣子邊罵邊說,你曉得龜兒的李剛撒,都鬧球的浪個凶瞭,你猜最後法院判他個啥子?有期徒刑三年,監外執行!有沒的王法瞭哦,還他媽不如不判。 ...
評分寒假前在圖書館裏發現一本樸素的小冊子——奧維德的《變形記》(人民文學齣版社,1984年)。盡管譯本序言的評論中還存留著階級分析的筆調,盡管這個譯本隻是選譯,並不算是完整版,然而翻開泛黃的書頁,一段段神話小故事依然令人感到趣味昂然,不忍釋捲。 《變形...
