Perhaps no other classical text has proved its versatility so much as Ovid's epic poem. A staple of undergraduate courses in Classical Studies, Latin, English and Comparative Literature, Metamorphoses is arguably one of the most important, canonical Latin texts and certainly among the most widely read and studied.

Ovid's 'Metamorphoses': A Reader's Guide is the ideal companion to this epic classical text offering guidance on:
• Literary, historical and cultural context
• Key themes
• Reading the text
• Reception and influence
• Further reading

I’m reading Ovid on my own. The guide is helpful in that it clarifies and points out things that I missed. Glad I bought it.

This is a useful book - but I felt that it demystified Ovid a little too much. I like a bit of a challenge and the temptation for many students might be to read this book and not bother reading Ovid at all.
