Rebeginner here (studied Latin at school decades ago).

I am a beginner and making quite good progress with Ovid. Rete utile est.

To start with Ovid I bought the Loeb edition of Metamorphoses, Books 1 to 8. But I anticipate that when I have finished this I won't be needing the translations, and will just need a monolingual edition, so I tried to find what there is out there.

I found the Oxford Classical Texts. I'm not sure whether I'm meant to assume that these are monolingual Ancient Greek or Latin. I'm slightly confused by the fact that the Greek texts in this edition appear to have Latin covers.

They also seem pretty pricey. Maybe it's possible to get them second-hand.

Are there any other editions (Latin and Ancient Greek) which people can recommend?Are there any other editions (Latin and Ancient Greek) which people can recommend? Please suggest only one per answer, so that votes indicate the quality of each suggestion.

PS I tried to set this to be a Community Wiki question, but it didn't work out: maybe someone who knows how to do this can help?
