Index of proper names appended

~Half way done with this. More enjoyable than other stuff by Ovid I've read because there's no 'Ovid' character.

This translation in rhymed verse is very readable. It doesn't have notes explaining the mythological references - instead it begins with a short summary of the story behind each poem. Prevents it from being bogged down.

Part of an 'influences' reading game I'm playing - influence on Boccaccio.
