Men and Gods

Notes

• 32 stories
• Subtitles vary. Title pages should be checked. One library record of the 1st ed., {{OCLC|219950264}} suggests full title Men and Gods: Greek Myths Retold in English Prose, Adapted Chiefly from Ovid's Metamorphoses.
• Library of Congress {{LCCN|2007031162}} reports Table of Contents for the 2008 New York Review Books edition, 32 story titles.
• "Warner has given us a splendid abridgement and adaptation of the Metamorphoses, and has added a lovely version of {{a|Apuleius}}. ... Instead of worrying about Ovid's intentions he treats the myths as fairy stories which are beautiful and suggestive in themselves. ... Of Mr. Rex Warner's own intentions in writing this book there can be little doubt. He wanted to provide the modern reader with a convenient summary of the main classical myths, from which our poets have drawn so many of their themes and allusions. ..." --review by {{a|Harold Nicolson}} as a translation, The Observer 1950-06-25 p7, "Metamorphoses"

• 1st ed. 1st ed. of the collection, or translation of Ovid as it may be (see the collection record)
• Title page image from Amazon UK/US 2018-11-07, {{ASIN|B001A9JLKK}} as "William Heinemann Ltd; Reprint edition (1951)" but the t.p. image displays:   London   Macgibbon & Kee Ltd   1950
• Price from review by {{a|Harold Nicolson}}, The Observer 1950-06-25 p7, "Metamorphoses"; as a translation, abridgement and adaptation of Ovid's Metamorphoses.
• WorldCat library record OCLC 2171739 provides a list of Contents (38). Those 38 titles include 3 subsections each for "Jason" and "The Story of Theseus". Thus alone the list differs from that posted for the 2008 NYRB edition by the Library of Congress, {{LCCN|2007031162}}.
• OCLC 219950264 displays a long heading: "Men and gods : Greek myths retold in English prose, adapted chiefly from Ovid's Metamorphoses". That heading suggests a long title, but it is not a report from the title page, apparently from the image at Amazon.
