Metamorphoses Summary

Metamorphoses by Ovid

Winner of the 2004 Harold Morton Landon Translation Award from the Academy of American Poets, Charles Martin's blank-verse translation of the Metamorphoses is a smoothly readable, accurate, charming, subtle yet clear (Richard Wilbur) version that highlights [the poem's] lightness and pervasive sense of universal mutability (Michael Dirda).
