Ovid's Metamorphoses
What do the stories of Narcissus being consumed in self-love, of Arachne spidered for her own pride, of Daphne transformed into a laurel tree to escape the lusts of Apollo have to say to the man of the twenty-first century? If he knows how to recognize himself in his secret need for spells and monsters, he will be able to allow himself the indecent freedom to get lost among the twelve thousand hexameters of this supreme book, allowing himself to be accompanied by the elegant and reckless translation of Vittorio Sermonti, who is certainly not ashamed to use the language with which we Italians of the twenty-first century think and speak.
