ALLEN MANDELBAUM (1926-2011) was a history and humanities professor whose translations of Homer, Dante, Virgil, Quasimodo, Ovid, and Ungaretti have all been richly praised. For his translation of The Aeneid, he won the National Book Award.
The Metamorphoses is a treasury of classical myths, filtered through the worldly and far from reverent sensibility of the Roman poet Ovid (43 B.C-A.D.17).
