Ovid works his way through his subject matter often in an apparently arbitrary fashion however, the connection between all the seemingly unconnected stories is that all of them talk about transformation. Published around 8 AD, the Metamorphoses are a source, sometimes the only source, for many of the most famous ancient myths, such as the stories of Daedalus and Icarus, Arachne or Narcisus. It consists of a narrative poem in fifteen books that describes the creation and history of the world through mythological tales, starting with a cosmogony and finishing with the deification of Julius Caesar.
The Metamorphoses of Ovid is probably one of the best known, certainly one of the most influential works of the Ancient world. Download cover art Download CD case insert Metamorphoses
