Articoli correlati a Metamorphoses: by Ovid: (The Block Bard CLASSICS)
Sinossi
"It is the single most important work of poetry in ancient history." – M. L. Andres, author of 'A Simple but Effective Strategy for Success' & founder of The Block Bard.
Ovid’s 15-book epic, written in exquisite Latin hexameter, is a rollercoaster of a read. Beginning with the creation of the world, and ending with Rome in his own lifetime, the Metamorphoses drags the reader through time and space, from beginnings to endings, from life to death, from moments of delicious joy to episodes of depravity and abjection.
The madness and chaos of some 250 stories, spanning around 700 lines of poetry per book, are woven together by the theme of metamorphosis or transformation.
The artistic dexterity involved in pulling off this literary feat is testimony to Ovid’s skill and ambition as a poet.
This accomplishment also goes a long way in explaining the rightful place the Metamorphoses holds within the canon of classical literature, placed as it is beside other great epics of Mediterranean antiquity such as the Iliad, Odyssey and Aeneid.
This edition is in poetry, translated to English from Latin by John Dryden (A.D. 17th century), with an introduction by Mac Andres.
