Metamorphoses - Bks. 5 - 8

Ovid's Metamorphoses is a work which displays his mature genius and is a treasure house of mythology.

This volume continues the Metamorphoses in the same style as books IIV; with a line by line translation and notes which trace Ovid's sources and his influence on literature and art.

It has, however, been designed to stand alone or to be read as a sequel to the earlier volume.
