Yeah, The Sound and the Fury was a doozy. I'm no stranger to difficult books and I generally like stream-of-consciousness modernist writing, but this one really tested me! I'll have to revisit it some day I think.

I have the Penguin Classics edition of Metamorphoses which credits David Raeburn as the translator. I've dabbled in the Iliad/Odyssey but frankly have found them entirely too dense to be worth my effort with the primary text. I... Haven't found a lot of good resources for Metamorphoses yet. I have just been Googling "Metamorphoses Book 3 discussion" when I finish a section and perusing the submissions.
