The writing is marvelous, and the way Ovid depicts emotions is incredibly enjoyable to read. Also, incredible work on the translator(s) part! The only thing I would recommend for anyone looking to read this book is to do a quick Google search on the major Roman gods (gods of Olympus) for some slight background knowledge.

No es un género que suelo leer, a pesar de eso me lancé en ello y, bueno, me gustó. Definitivamente no es un libro por el que me vuelva loca ni nada, pero ahora tengo más palabras en mi vocabulario español.
Se relatan bastantes mitos desde la creación de La Tierra hasta en los días en los que Ovidio vivía. Pude conocer más personajes mitológicos y avances en la historia romana.
