Hurray, some more mythology! It’s been a little while since I’ve read some
Roman mythology and Ovid really brings it to life. The quality of the
translation was good too, so what’s there to complain about?

This was actually hilarious, and it had a relatively modern feel thanks to the translation despite the fact that it was about a Roman banquet. Prepare yourself for drinks and debauchery. Times haven’t changed much, to be honest. Read it!
