Reviews
Following in the path of Stephanie McCarter's translation, C. Luke Soucy's book, Ovid's Metamorphoses: A New Translation , handles the most unsavory aspects of this work with brazen clarity. Soucy argues that 'Ovid's poem contains an incisive investigation into the abuse of power; it is a task of the translator not to occlude it.' Soucy takes this challenge head-on by making explicit what others have glossed., Soucy's version of the Metamorphoses which is dynamic, attractive, and up to date in every way--in its laudable close engagement with the latest critical Latin text, its focus on the politics of sex, race, and gender, and its lively presentation of Ovid to the latest generation of younger readers.

Synopsis
This fresh translation revives the politics and power at play in classical mythology's foremost source Centuries of conservative translators have robbed the Metamorphoses of its subversive force. In this boldly lyrical translation, C. Luke Soucy revives the magnum opus of Rome's most clever and creative poet, faithfully matching the epic's wit and style while confronting the sexuality, violence, and politics so many previous translations have glossed over. Soucy's powerful version breathes new life into Ovid's mythic world, where canonical power dynamics are challenged from below to drain heroes of their heroism, give victims their say, and reveal an earth holier than heaven. Incorporating the latest scholarship alongside annotations, illustrations, and glossary, this edition brings fresh insights to both returning and new readers.
