Title: God awful in comparison to so many others!
Review: This is perhaps the worst translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses I've ever read!Melville renders it into Verse, but all the sentences are jumbled and don't make sense, as well, he adds a weird type of archaic-ness throughout. It doen't make for easy reading or enjoyable reading either.I'd rather read Arthus Golding's translation to be quite honest!I think the best version on the market in Verse is Allen Mandelbaum's, and the best Prose translation being the incredible version by Mary Innes
