Ovid twice treated the myth of Persephone, and Hinds's book is at first a historical inquiry--the most extensive yet done--into the double transformation in Metamorphosis 5 and Fasti 4 of the rape of Persephone, one of the great Graeco-Roman myths. The study continues as a critical exploration of Ovid's self-conscious delight in language and in writing manifested in these twin narratives, providing a feast for students of both Latin poetry and narratives in general.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51941746737440,"sku":"NEW0521036232","price":62.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-metamorphosis-of-persephone-ovid-and-the-self-conscious-muse-cambridge-classical-studies-0521036232","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
