This volume contains selections from Publius Ovidius Naso's seminal works, "Metamorphoses" and "Heroides," presented with a literal and interlinear translation based on the Hamiltonian method, as improved by Thomas Clark. Designed specifically for schools and private learners, this edition facilitates a close reading of Ovid's Latin, aiding students in understanding the nuances of the original text.

Ovid's "Metamorphoses", a cornerstone of classical literature, recounts a vast collection of mythological tales involving transformations, while the "Heroides" consists of epistolary poems presented as if written by mythological heroines to their absent lovers. This edition offers a unique opportunity to engage with Ovid's rich poetic language and enduring stories through a pedagogical approach that supports both vocabulary acquisition and comprehension of Latin syntax. It serves as an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of classical literature and the Latin language.
