This volume completes Donald Hill's distinguished edition of the Metamorphoses. Of the previous volume it was said: 'It is all we could hope for, with excellent translation, fuller understanding from the notes and an extensive bibliography. The text is attractively and conveniently laid out, with Latin and translation en face. The translation is in blank verse for the English reader while being stimulating and thought-provoking for the Latinist. The notes too make interesting reading at any level, with a vast store of information from a multitude of sources...' - LACT.
