| Language Notes: | "While writing the book [i.e. Shakespeare and the Goddess of Comlete Being] I considered making and including a translation of the story of Venus and Adonis from Ovid's Metamorphoses, which Shakespeare is known to have used. ... But then by coincidence Michael Hofmann and James Lasdun were commissioned to invite translations of the Ovid stories, from the Metamorphoses, from various writers, and asked me to have a go at the Venus and Adonis. I added Salmacis and Hermaphroditus." -- p. vii adn p. viii |
