Talk:Tales from Ovid

A previous, very interesting text was part of this article, but it discussed Ovid's Metamorphis, and bore no relevance to this particular article (which is about Hughes' retelling).--82.238.18.163 (talk) 01:03, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Relevance?

Is this book really important enough to have a full article of its own? In my opinion, it would be much better to delete this article and insert some text about this book at the end of the article about Ovid's Metamorphoses. Michael! (talk) 12:51, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

I think it's important enough. Hughes was Poet Laureate of England. He has a large and, I think, well respected body of work, which is taught in university English courses. Tales from Ovid shows an important contemporary poet connecting his work to, and to a degree reinventing (I think I remember reading that Hughes inserted some of Dante into one of the poems to enliven it), what parts of the classical tradition he found relevant to his work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.6.248.92 (talk) 04:41, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
