Summary: Great Textbook!
Comment: My Latin class is using this text this quarter, and we find it excellent. It includes a large introduction with explanations of the myths involved, and which tells about Ovid's life. The book also includes many, many notes that give suggested translations for difficult lines and explain ambiguous references. The text includes Heroides letters 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, and the "incerti auctoris epistula Sapphus ad Phaonem". Enjoy!

Summary: Caveat Lector! Translation: Reader Beware!
Comment: Readers should note that if you do not read Latin (and I don't), you will not be able to read the actual epistles in this book - only the introduction and the commentary. Since I will have to order another version of the Heroides to actually read the ancient text, I cannot yet comment on the English commentary included in this book! I am giving it a two for now.

Rating: 5
Summary: A useful and intelligent commentary
Comment: This commentary is erudite and insightful, full of information that is useful to scholars of all levels. What a fantastic book!
