About this book
Creators: Ovid (44 BCE-18?) and Henry T. Riley (1816-1878) [Translator] "The Metamorphoses of Ovid, Books I-VII" by Ovid is a Latin narrative poem written in 8 CE. This masterwork chronicles the history of the world from creation to Julius Caesar's deification through over 250 transformation myths. Spanning themes from divine comedy to vengeful gods and passionate love, the poem defies simple classification as it shifts between tones and stories. With gods humiliated by Cupid and mortals elevated above the divine, Ovid inverts the expected order, making transformation itself the constant in a world where nothing remains unchanged.
