Rosati provides refined and insightful interpretations of Ovid's Narcissus and Pygmalion episodes...This book will be especially welcomed by those wanting or needing to read a foundational work in modern Ovidian studies. * M. L. Goldman, CHOICE * Rosati's book remains powerful and highly relevant...Rosati not only offers compelling readings of the Narcissus and Pygmalion myths, but also provides us with the tools and starting points to continue in this interpretation of the epic. * Elaine C. Sanderson, University of Liverpool *
