Bien si lo encuentras barato
Se ve bien en contenido del libro, tiene notas, glosario y mapa del mediterraneo al final del libro, asi como el material complementerio al inicio del libro, lo que más me puedo quejar de él es que llego maltratado de la portada, pero me lo esperaba por tan barato, aun así deberían de especificar si tiene algún desperfecto o es usado, el tamaño de letra es bueno, al igual que la impresión pero el papel no me agrada nada lo más parecido que lo puedo comparar es a un delgado papel periódico, un color gris y un tacto parecido.

All the myths and legends in one grand epic!
Along with the works of Homer, Aeschylus, and Sophicles, this epic masterpiece is a must read for anyone wanting to expand their understanding of ancient myths while at the same time gaining much more enjoyment out of modern poetry, from which these tales often refer. Ovid begins with Creation before going into the ancient world's legends and myths, and wraps it up with a tribute to Augustus. Translation is superb, and plenty of footnotes with useful information. A must read!

A comprehensive, full edition
This verse translation of Ovid seems to be what I was looking for- it has a rich introduction to every chapter and notes providing additional information. Recommendable!
