What edition of this should I buy? Looking for good commentary, but not huge distracting foot/endnotes. You prefer a long introduction.

I should mention I already have other translations that I've read.

Go for the Paul Dry Books version. Good glossary, two good opening essays the second of which is Jonathan Bate's Shakespeare's Ovid. The notes are tiny and almost all refer to semantics, which is all one needs.

I like the Penguin verse translation by Raeburn. Just finished studying Ovid at Oxford for my finals and, as someone who has read the Met. in both Latin and English multiple times, Raeburn captures the flow of the Latin and Ovid's humour better than anybody else.

Thanks for the suggestion (and I'll probably get it too) but I'm looking at the Golding translation specifically. So far I've read the Miller (prose translations should be illegal) and Mandelbaum (I loved it).

thanks, sounds exactly what i'm looking for
