Description
One of the most beautiful books in the language, Ovid's Metamorphoses is a masterpiece of Latin literature that has captivated readers for centuries.
In this ingenious series of narrative poems, Ovid drew on Greek mythology, Latin folklore and legend from ever further afield to create a universe of transformation. Animals turn to stone, men and women become trees and stars, as the chaotic world is subdued into harmonious order.
With its subtle humour, understanding of human nature and elegant tone, Metamorphoses has transformed the art of storytelling, creating a lasting treasure-house of myth and legend that continues to enchant readers today.
