Reviews

"Krisak has found a voice that accurately reflects that of his author, revealing the elegance of Ovid's skill in writing verses and the liveliness of his sensibility and subversive wittiness. * Charles Martin * Krisak's thinking, his thoughtfulness, deeply motivates the translation, giving the resultant English an energy that readers of Latin rightly feel is present in Ovid's originals. In particular I would say that Krisak has managed to capture what has been called Ovid's ""thoughtful lightness. * Benjamin Eldon Stevens, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *"
