Ovid’s Metamorphoses is a Latin reader designed to partner existing elementary Latin textbooks.

The book features thirty compelling stories, graduated in difficulty and adapted from Ovid’s epic Metamorphoses into prose.

Each chapter contains:

  • a Latin passage adapted from the epic
  • an accompanying vocabulary list
  • a short commentary to help with translation
  • a concise review of the specific grammar covered
  • a brief comment on a literary aspect of the poem, or featured myth.

A free companion website, offering a wealth of additional resources, including worksheets, flashcards, additional notes for each chapter, and audio, is available at www.routledge.com/cw/albright.

Suitable for college students studying Latin at the elementary level, Ovid’s Metamorphoses is designed to be used alongside elementary Latin textbooks.
