Synopsis
Tales from Ovid Twenty-four Passages from the Metamorphoses by Ted Hughes, Ovid
Hughes's three contributions to the anthology After Ovid an accurate account of the original so thoroughly imbued with his own qualities that it was as if Latin and English poet were somehow the same person. This volume continues the project, with 24 passages including the stories of Phaeton, Actaon, Echo and Narcissus, Procne and Midas.
Reviews
Hughes translation of 24 selections form Ovid is not merely a translation of the original Latin text, it is a translation of its spirit, namely passion. Hughes
's bold, active language brings Ovid's world of imperious, tragic Odione, the ascetic, obsessive Pygmalion and a host of other classical characters to life. It is a lively, reckless adventure that restores drama and magic, too often missing from translations, to these classical tales. (Kirkus UK)'
