About the book

Ovid's Metamorphoses is one of the great works of classical literature, presenting a vast sequence of mythological stories linked by the theme of transformation. Gods and mortals are repeatedly changed into animals, plants, stars and other forms as Ovid retells stories of love, punishment, ambition and loss. The work has had an enormous influence on European literature and art, preserving many of the best-known myths of the ancient world.
