Juvenal in English (2001)
[Ordered from betterworldbooksltd (19/4/19) - received 20/5/19]:

One of my 2007 notes on Ovid's Metamorphoses on The Imaginary Museum reads as follows:

The book I borrowed this extract from, Ovid in English, is one of the excellent Penguin Poets in Translation Series. To date the following volumes have appeared. If you see them in a secondhand shop near you (strangely enough, they seem to go out of print almost as soon as they appear), don't buy it - leave it for me instead ...

1. Homer in English, ed. George Steiner & Aminadav Dykman (1996)
2. Horace in English, ed. D. S. Carne-Ross & Kenneth Haynes (1996)
3. Martial in English, ed. John P. Sullivan & Anthony J. Boyle (1996)
4. The Psalms in English, ed. Donald Davie (1996)
5. Virgil in English, ed. K. W. Gransden (1996)
6. Baudelaire in English, ed. Carol Clark & Robert Sykes (1998)
7. Ovid in English, ed. Christopher Martin (1998)
8. Seneca in English, ed. Don Share (1998)
9. Catullus in English, ed. Julia Haig Gaisser (2001)
10. Juvenal in English, ed. Martin M. Winkler (2001)
11. Dante in English, ed. Eric Griffiths & Matthew Reynolds (2005)
12. Petrarch in English, ed. Thomas P. Roche (2005)
13. [Rilke in English, ed. Michael Hofmann (overdue from 2008)]

Subsequently, in 2018, I wrote a far more extensive post, listing and picturing all the volumes in the series I could obtain information about.

Juvenal: Sixteen Satires (1967)

Juvenal. The Sixteen Satires. Trans. Peter Green. 1967. Penguin Classics. Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1980.

By the by, the parcel containing this last volume in the series arrived with the following address details. It gave me quite a glow of pride!
