    • 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.
