Himself), and the initial books of Ovid’s Metamorphoses still the most widely read and discussed portion of the work, a commentary on Books 1-5 inevitably involves revisiting some very familiar scholarly territory. With Ovidian studies now a major field within Latin scholarship (thanks in no small part to A. Has turned his attention to the initial books of the poem, a project which presents the commentator with a rather different set of challenges. At the time, “because the stories in them are even richer than those in Books 1-5 and because many of them have never received sympathetic commentary.” A quarter of a century later A.

Hill’s bilingual edition of Books 1-8 (Bristol 1985), which treats a larger stretch of the poem and is particularly valuable for its assessment and presentation of Ovid’s sources. Somewhat closer in scope and design to A.’s own project is D.E. Henderson (Bristol 1979) continues to serve a valuable pedagogical function. Moore-Blunt (Uithoorn 1977) has less to offer most readers, the commentary on Book 3 by A.A.R.

Has done a masterful job of making Ovid’s poem accessible to contemporary Latin students. 2 While there is (not surprisingly) relatively little original scholarship, A. Provides a readable and engaging commentary of medium size aimed at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate reader which covers the opening books of the poem and makes available a sound Latin text. What, it is fair to ask, does A.’s commentary add to this dense field?In fact, the commentary offers a great deal, in large part because of its generous pedagogical inclinations. 1 Finally, Stephen Hinds and Alison Keith have written important book-length studies on 5.294-678 and 2.549-835 respectively.

Moreover, the principles of selection appear to be slightly erratic. Then adds a short discussion of the manuscript tradition with a list of the most important witnesses.The Introduction ends with a selected bibliography, which at a mere 47 items is perhaps a little too selective. Readers coming to Ovid from Vergil will appreciate A.’s comparative analysis of Vergilian and Ovidian metrics which concludes this section. Here convincingly complements the necessarily more fractured discussion in the commentary, showing with a sustained and wide-ranging analysis of an individual passage how different facets of Ovid’s art interact in the creation of overall textual meaning.

Kenney (Oxford 1986).As indicated, the text A. Also notably absent from the bibliography are the aforementioned commentaries of Henderson and Hill and the superb introduction and notes to the Melville translation by E.J.

Now prints illa (instead of illas). Yet the most significant alteration occurs in 1.2 where A. Nicely justifies the reading in the notes, explaining the intertextual affiliation with Vergil’s Aeneid. Goold in his revised Loeb edition of 1977 and D.E. Introduces obvious improvements over his earlier edition, as in 2.518 where the text now reads et vero quisquam (instead of the colorless est vero cur quis), a reading adopted by G.P.
