While searching my public library's online catalogue for copies of "Metamorphoses," I came across this book (currently out of print):
Ovid's Metamorphoses: An Introduction to the Basic Aspects
by Karl Galinsky
University of California Press, 1975, 285 pages
ISBN: 0520028481
I ordered the book from another branch, so I won't get it for another couple of days. However, if one goes by Galinsky's Augustan Culture which I own (Bryn Mawr Review), the above-mentioned volume is probably a good introduction to the Metamorphoses. I will report more later.
I suggest to members of the reading group to check their own library for availability.
