Ancient & Classical Editorial Review

The Metamorphoses Penguin Clothbound Classics Hardcover is a beautifully designed book. The pages are of good quality and include a ribbon bookmark, a chronology of Ovid, a glossary of names and places, a map of Ovid’s Mediterranean world, and end notes. It is a great value for its price, which is around $19. However, the price sticker leaves a mark on the back cover when removed, which is disappointing. Overall, it is a good addition to any bookshelf.
