Things change, people change, and in Ovid's witty, sensuous poem no one ever remains the same. Women are transformed into stones, flowers, birds, or, if fortunate, goddesses—because the vital spirit moves through everything. Narrator Barry Kraft has picked up this energy, sharply and precisely attacking each word of Miller's translation, heavy with its strong consonants. Kraft’s pointedly placed emphases mimic Ovid's own. Beginning with the creation of the world out of chaos, he links the familiar stories from Greek and Roman legend and batters us, wave upon wave, with the archetypal power of each tale, until Augustus's memorable apotheosis at the end. This is a refresher course in mythology at its best. P.E.F. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/NOV 08]
