This video explains the brilliance behind Tales from Ovid, a translation of the Roman poetry ensemble Metamorphoses. Classics has always been a passion of mine and so I read a lot of Classical Literature over the Summer for fun and to prepare for my A levels. One of my favourite books was the Metamorphoses, as I loved the huge variety in topics and time periods which it covered. I followed my reading up with some research and was interested to learn that Ted Hughes had won a Whitbread Award for translating it. After further research and upon discovering the Cambridge Classics Audiovisual Competition was themed around Metamorphosis, I decided to enter and film my findings. The views and opinions in this film are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of any member of the Faculty of Classics, University of Cambridge.
