This new translation breathes new life into Ovid's mythic world, challenging canonical power dynamics and revealing an earth holier than heaven. It faithfully matches the epic's wit and style, incorporating the latest scholarship alongside annotations, illustrations, and a glossary. The result is a powerful and lyrical translation that brings fresh insights to both returning and new readers.
Centuries of conservative translators have robbed the Metamorphoses of its subversive force. In this boldly lyrical translation, C. Luke Soucy revives the magnum opus of Rome's most clever and creative poet, faithfully matching the epic's wit and style while confronting the sexuality, violence, and politics that many previous translations have glossed over. Soucy's powerful version breathes new life into Ovid's mythic world, where canonical power dynamics are challenged from below to drain heroes of their heroism, give victims their say, and reveal an earth holier than heaven. Incorporating the latest scholarship alongside annotations, illustrations, and a glossary, this edition brings fresh insights to both returning and new readers.
