为什么值得读
- 将大量神话故事巧妙编织成极富趣味的篇章
- 读懂莎士比亚作品中俯拾皆是典故的必备基石
- 区别于好莱坞改编，呈现更纯正的原版神话
Metamorphoses 是古罗马诗人 Ovid 创作的叙事长诗。该作共分为15卷，收录了250多个神话故事，被公认为其巅峰之作。长诗描绘了自创世起直至 Julius Caesar 被奉为神明的世界历史。Metamorphoses 被视为西方文化中最具影响力的作品之一，启发了 Dante、Shakespeare、Chaucer 以及 Boccaccio 等一众文学巨匠。几个世纪以来，它还激发了无数艺术家的创作灵感。

……可以说是为了召唤缪斯吧。我通常需要阅读各色各样的作品，才能激发起用文字表达想法的冲动。书的内容完全不需要跟我写的东西类似，只要足够好就行。奥维德的《变形记》（Metamorphoses）就曾帮我写出过关于科学哲学的博客文章。
…to summon the muses, as it were. I typically need diverse reading to get that need to express something in text. It doesn't have to be at all similar to what I'm writing, it just has to be good. Ovid's Metamorphoses has helped me blog posts about the philosophy of science.
初学者拿荷马和奥维德来起步就挺不错的。《变形记》是一本很赞的书，把许多故事巧妙地编织在一起。我最喜欢的一句名言：> 然而天地尚未完备，> 尚缺一种赋有灵性的生灵，> 能够统治整个大地。于是人类应运而生。……
Homer and Ovid are pretty good for starter. Metamorphoses is really nice book with lot of stories woven together. My favorite quote: > Yet world was not complete. > It lacked a creature that had hints of heaven > And hopes to rule the earth. So man was made.…
好莱坞大片里的希腊罗马神话，和你在奥维德《变形记》里读到的完全不是一码事。莎士比亚的作品里几乎每一页都能找到对奥维德《变形记》的引用，如果你没读过奥维德（说实话，现在又有几个人读过呢？），莎翁的很多梗你根本就……
The Hollywood versions of Greco-Roman mythology aren't the same as what you get in Ovid's Metamorphoses. References to Ovid's Metamorphoses can be found on almost every page of Shakespeare, and if you haven't read Ovid (and really, how many people nowadays have?) a lot of Shakespeare's references can be…
我也想补充一句，读奥维德的《变形记》让我感到非常享受。
I'd add that I had a great time reading the Metamorphoses by Ovid.
……那时男孩子们被要求大段大段地背诵古希腊语和拉丁语文献。说真的，科技公司要是把刷 LeetCode（Cracking the Coding Interview）换成考奥维德的《变形记》，面试不考二叉树而是考法厄同（Phaethon）的坠落，招人效果大概也没什么区别——考的具体内容根本无关紧要。（流程中非白板面试的部分依然会像现在一样发挥作用，用来确保一定程度的……
…where boys were required to memorize long passages of ancient Greek and Latin texts. In fact, tech companies would probably get the same hiring results by replacing Cracking the Code Interview with Ovid's Metamorphoses, and asking about Phaethon's fall instead of binary trees -- the substance doesn't really matter. (The non-whiteboard parts of the process would do the same job as they currently do of ensuring some degree…
……理解记忆字符串的一些策略；《Understanding Weatherfax》——为了尝试（最后失败了）环球航海；《Sail Power》；《Kon-Tiki》；《大班》（Shogun）；《Art of the Sailor》；《商业冒险》（Business Adventures）；《变形记》（Metamorphoses，奥维德的，不是卡夫卡那本）；《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》；《深夜小狗神秘事件》——这本书好评如潮，前 50 页悬念和文笔极其抓人，但整体而言我觉得……
