The Metamorphoses of Ovid stands with the works of Homer, Virgil, Dante, and Milton as a classic of world poetry; Hughes translated twenty-four of its stories with great power and directness. The result is the liveliest twentieth-century version of the classic, at once a delight for the Latinist and an appealing introduction to Ovid for the general reader.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40679357644823,"sku":"9780374525873","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/view_archive_86b5b467-915b-48ed-a5f5-9986b371cbbf.jpg?v=1699050943","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/hughes-ted-tales-from","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
