The Fall of Icarus

As with many of the other Penguin Classics, the contents of the selection here extend far outside of just the tale of Icarus flying too close to the sun (people often forget that Ovid dedicates maybe 2-3 paragraphs total to it). Instead this is a great selection of Ovid themes around the personified wrath of the Gods and their relationship to justice and ethics. I thought it was great and worth the quick read.
