About: This edition of three Ovidian tales translated and partly rewritten in the 1560s (Thomas Peend's 'The Pleasant fable of Hermaphroditus and Salmacis', Thomas Underdowne's 'The Excellent Historye of Theseus and Ariadne' and William Hubbard's 'The Tragicall' and lamentable Histoire of two faithfull mates: Ceyx Kynge of Thracine and Alcione his wife) calls attention to the possible literary influence of such minor texts on later poets and playwrights like Marlowe and Shakespeare.
