What I have to say here matters little because this is an immortal work by an immortal writer. However my only complaint was that Ovid's response to his exile. I bought this book expecting a more poetic treatment of the how's and why's of this but it is not that. But its perhaps my loss. What was the man to do but just write what he felt.

Well worth reading.

A joy to discover the material; poetic, epic, satirical, and full of Ovidian wit. Ovid fans should read this.

Marvelous translation by the great classicist Peter Green. Apparently used by Bob Dylan when writing the lyrics for his 'Modern Times' album. Universal truths written in exile.
