| Description: | The Electronic Text Center's holdings include a variety of Metamorphoses resources. A Latin text (apparently from Ehwald's edition, ca. 1903), eight other digitized versions of the Latin, some scanned and some fully transcribed with additional markup refinements, and five English translations by Golding, Sandys, Garth, Brookes More, and Anthony S. Kline. The Ehwald Latin text and the 18th-c. Garth paraphrase are cross-linked so that users may browse or search both texts together. Also included is a growing archive of pictorial and textual responses to Ovid's great poem, featuring many lavish cycles of Ovid illustrations and a medley of audacious and cautious reworkings and readings in Latin, French, Italian, German, Dutch, Spanish, and English. |
