Ted Hughes - Tales from Ovid



Pass: bbc4free.blogspot.com


Published in 1997, Tales from Ovid was immediately recognized as a classic in its own right, as the best reading of Ovid in generations, and as a major book in Ted Hughes's oeuvre. 

The Metamorphoses of Ovid stands with the works of Homer, Virgil, Dante, and Milton as a classic of world poetry; Hughes translated twenty-four of its stories with great power and directness. The result is the liveliest twentieth-century version of the classic, at once a delight for the Latinist and an appealing introduction to Ovid.
