Metamorphoses: A New Translation by Charles Martin

Rating:
Summary: Phaeton
Review: I read the story of Phaeton aloud to my college students and they were rapt throughout. That in itself is an encomium. When I mentioned that to a friend, she said her daughter's junior high school English class had been studying Phaeton as well: it's an excellent allegory for today's young, and they seem fascinated by the details. Mr. Martin's translation is fast-paced and exciting, direct and lucid.
