Fastorum Liber III. Edited with an introduction and commentary by C. Bailey. - Ovidius

KORTE INHOUD

'This edition is something of an experiment. Though an attempt has been made to provide the usual equipment of critical apparatus and explanatory notes on individual points which occur in the text, my interest has been primarily in the subject-matter and in what is behind the subject-matter, the old religion of Rome. The 'Fasti' has always been regarded as an attractive storehouse of mythology, and there is a peculiar charm about the Graeco-Roman stories in the half-ironical dress which Ovid has given them.' (CYRIL BAILEY in the Preface, p.3).
