No work from classical antiquity has exerted such a continuing influence on world literature as Ovid's Metamorphoses. Drawing on the Greek and Roman mythology, Ovid's masterpiece comprises 11,995 lines, 15 books and over 250 myths from the creation of the world to the apotheosis of Julius Caesar. Ovid directs his dramas one after another, relentlessly bombarding his readers with beautiful metrics and awe-inspiring imagery as that of Io and Jupiter, Narcissus and Echo, Daphne and Apollo, Minos and the Minotaur. These 250 stories are linked only by their common theme of metamorphosis. Don't hesitate to take the time to read this full text translated into English by Brookes More. These fabulous stories still provide answers to the riddles of life.

About the poet: Ovid

Ovid (43 BCE–17/18 CE), born Publius Ovidius Naso in Sulmo, in central Italy, was one of the most prolific and influential poets of ancient Rome. Educated in Rome and Athens in rhetoric and philosophy, he became a celebrated poet before being banished by the Emperor Augustus in 8 CE to Tomis on the Black Sea, where he spent the rest of his life. His major works include Metamorphoses, a mythological epic in fifteen books exploring transformation from creation to Julius Caesar; Ars Amatoria, an ironic guide to love; and Tristia, poems of exile. The Metamorphoses has been among the most influential texts in Western literature, shaping art and poetry from Chaucer to Shakespeare to Ted Hughes.
