METAMORPHOSES
METAMORPHOSES
Ovid (43BC18AD) was born at Sulmo (Sulmona) in central Italy. Coming from a wealthy Roman family and seemingly destined for a career in politics he held minor official posts before leaving public service to write becoming the most distinguished poet of his time. His works all published in Penguin Classics include Amores a collection of short love poems: Heroides verseletters written by mythological heroines to their lovers: Ars Amatoria a satirical handbook on love: and Metamorphoses his epic work that has inspired countless writers and artists through the ages. David Raeburn is a lecturer in Classics at Oxford and has also translated Sophocles Electra and Other Plays for Penguin Classics. Denis Feeney is Professor of Classics at Princeton.
