Ovid's Metamorphoses

I've begun to read Allen Mandelbaum's translation and I'm hooked. Though I tend to love Ted Hughes's translations the most, he unfortunately only worked on parts of Ovid's book (Hughes's version is called "Tales from Ovid").

I don't suppose everyone who is curious to read Mandelbaum's book knows that Apollo and Phoebus are different names of the same god. Here footnotes would be useful, since those two names are used interchangeably in one tale. I would also love to reference genealogy charts, but there are no appendices. Still, keeping mental track of Greco-Roman genealogy is more interesting than trying to read 1 Chronicles of the Bible.

I wonder how Apollo rides his sun chariot, which should take all day and all night (or should I say all day and all day?), and still has time to rape young women.
