Tietoa kirjasta
"Metamorfóseos o Transformaciones (1 de 4)" by Ovid is a Latin narrative poem written in 8 CE. This sprawling work chronicles world history from creation to Julius Caesar's deification through over 250 interconnected myths of transformation. Blending epic scope with shifting tones and genres, the poem elevates human passions while making gods—especially Apollo—objects of ridicule through the confounding power of love. Ovid's magnum opus defies simple classification, creating a mythological landscape that has profoundly influenced Western literature and art for two millennia.
