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.
