These classics are part of The Great Books Series by Golding Books.The classic translation of the Aeneid is by John Dryden, and of Metamorphoses by John Dryden, Sir Samuel Garth, and others.Virgil, or Publius Vergilius Maro, was born near Mantua in the Roman Republic in 70 BC. He wrote three famed Latin poems: the Eclogues (or Bucolics), the Georgics, and the epic Aeneid. Since its composition, the Aeneid has been considered the national epic of ancient Rome; Virgil is said to have recited several books from it to the first Roman Emperor Augustus. He died at the age of 50 in 19 BC.Ovid, or Publius Ovidius Naso, was born in Sulmo, Italy, in 43 BC. He is best known for the Metamorphoses, as well as Ars Amatoria (The Art of Love) and Fasti. With his older contemporaries Virgil and Horace, he is often considered one of the three canonical poets of Latin literature. Later in life, he was exiled--according to his own words, because of "a poem and a mistake"--by Emperor Augustus to a remote province known as Tomis on the Black Sea, where he remained until his death in AD 17 or 18.

Book excerpt: Ovid's Metamorphoses is one of the most influential works of Western literature, inspiring artists and writers from Titian to Shakespeare to Salman Rushdie. These are some of the most famous Roman myths as you've never read them before—sensuous, dangerously witty, audacious—from the fall of Troy to birth of the minotaur, and many others that only appear in the Metamorphoses. Connected together by the immutable laws of change and metamorphosis, the myths tell the story of the world from its creation up to the transformation of Julius Caesar from man into god. In the ten-beat, unrhymed lines of this now-legendary and widely praised translation, Rolfe Humphries captures the spirit of Ovid's swift and conversational language, bringing the wit and sophistication of the Roman poet to modern readers. This special annotated edition includes new, comprehensive commentary and notes by Joseph D. Reed, Professor of Classics and Comparative Literature at Brown University.
