Translations of Ovid

lol... reading Ovid in english... if you lack the discipline or intelligence to read the greatest work of literature in its most important language, you might as well stop reading, move to Kentucky, buying your books, food, and clothing at Wal Mart, buy a bb gun, paint it black, rob some old women for their pain pills, become an oxycodone addict, and kill yourself. Just learn latin—it's not that hard—and read Ovid, Horace, Cicero, Cato, Martial; learn french and read Montaigne and Rousseau; learn german and read Rilke, Goethe, Schiller, Schopenhauer, Walser, Bernhard, Musil, Kafka, Bernhard, and Walser. Take up farming.

Golding and Melville are best.

Kafka and Rilke were born in Prague, in the Czech Republic, during the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire; Musil and Bernhard were Austrian; Walser was Swiss.

Just read it in Latin

The difference between the original Latin and the English translation is so big that there's really no point in reading the English because you would be losing so much

Ignoring the dumbasses who would have no one read anything outside the languages they can speak, Mandelbaum is excellent.
