《熙德之歌》是迄今保留最完整的一部游唱诗，不但在西班牙文学史上占有极重要的地位，而且从世界文学史上的角度看，也是一部不可忽视的作品。文学史家们常常将它与法国的《罗兰之歌》、德国的《尼伯龙根之歌》并列，统称为中古欧洲的三大英雄史诗。熙德是西班牙著名的民族英雄，他英勇善战，赢得摩尔人的尊敬，称他为“熙德”（阿拉伯语对男子的尊称）。《熙德之歌》用谣曲的形式写成，遣词刚劲有力，洋溢着强烈的英雄气概和浓郁的民族特色。诗歌把西班牙人民的气质集中在熙德的身上，热情讴歌了坚强的意志、忠诚的心灵、真挚的爱情，诗歌富于历史的真实性，对西班牙历史文化、风土人情都有十分精彩、细致的表现，是西班牙文学史上的第一座里程碑。

《变形记》一般公认是奥维德最好的作品。全诗共十五卷，包括较长的故事约五十个，短故事或略一提到的故事约有二百。故事中的人物可以依次分为神话中的神和男女英雄，和所谓的历史人物这三类。全诗的结构可细分为以下各个段落：序诗、引子（天地的开创、四大时代、洪水的传说）、神的故事（卷一至卷六）、男女英雄的故事（卷六至卷十一）、“历史”人物的事迹（卷十一至卷十五）、尾声。这样一个安排多少是按时间次序作出，但是有许多故事的发生时间本来很难定，因此作者又按故事的性质予以安排，例如卷一至二的故事主要围绕神的恋爱为中心，卷三、四是以酒神巴克科斯和忒拜城为中心，卷五、六以神的复仇为中心，卷六至九以雅典英雄为中心，卷九至十一以男女英雄的恋爱为中心等。

《荷马精选集》内容简介：荷马的身世向来扑朔迷离。有西方学者甚至怀疑历史上是否确有荷马其人。英国诗人兼文论家马修•阿诺德曾用不多的词汇概括过荷马的文风，其中之一便是“简明”（simplicity）。然而，这位文风庄重、快捷和简朴的希腊史诗诗人却有着不简明的身世，给后人留下了许多不解其“庐山真面目”的疑团。
