Overview
OVID'S METAMORPHOSES is the greatest single narration of what the myth world of antiquity looked, thought & felt like at its climax. In this masterpiece, all the classic tales of Western mythology come to life. "Here is an Ovid who looks like the Picasso of Guernica rather than poussin. Translation is the highest critical art & the most specific. Charles Boer has reshaped The Metamorphoses in a way Olsen, Sukofsky, & Pound would have approved of making us see the poems violence, turbulence, & angular strangeness. Every age refinds the classics in its own way: Boer sees Ovid's primitive energy & gives us a poem we can place beside Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, a harsher, more staccato, louder Ovid than we're used to, but also a more vivid one."--Guy Davenport.
