A review by vickiireads
Metamorphoses by Madeleine Forey, Ovid

4.0

Utterly beautiful piece of work. This long poem is a flowing survey of mythology, guided by the theme of transformation. I loved it, not as much as Homer, albeit Metamorphoses still stands on its own as a gateway to Greek and Roman folklore. Ovid’s history starts at the creation of the universe and goes up to the Caesars of Rome and paints the chronology as a series of changes.

I might seek out another translation for a re-read later down the track. While I enjoyed Golding, I’m curious to read others dictions.
