lnhammer: the Chinese character for poetry, red on white background (Default)
From: [personal profile] lnhammer
I've lost track of the number of times I've reread the Metamorphoses. And the number of times I've mined it for stories.

McCullough does indeed go deep into the content -- it's an analysis of the style (and origins of same) of the poems. It's a companion (published the same year) of her complete translation, and includes the texts of about a third of them, with varying degrees of commentary.
