		They might be daunting to an undergraduate who is overwhelmed by the complexity of Ovid's poem and only wants to find out who, say, Hermaphroditus is. Some of the notes are two or more pages long.
		They do tell you who Hermaphroditus is, but they tell you a whole lot more.
		It is not actually in the Latin, but it expresses vividly what the whole passage conveys, and the last half verse slams home: Salmacis' determination to get Hermaphroditus into bed with her immediately, no matter what the terms.

	Index to Salmacis and Hermaphroditus (1602)
		Most Elizabethan poems in the genre are based upon adaptations of stories found in Ovid's Metamorphoses.

		The poem was first published in 1602 by John Hodgets and bears no reference to Francis Beaumont as the author, however, Beaumont's authorship of the poem has never been seriously challenged.
