The Changes

Exploring the rich tapestry of classical Greek and Roman mythology, this work presents over a hundred tales of transformation driven by the interplay between humans and deities. From the world's creation to the rise of Augustus Caesar, Ovid weaves a narrative that connects familiar legends like those of Perseus and the Trojan War with lesser-known stories. Written in iambic pentameter, the text delves into the emotional and moral complexities of divine interactions, emphasizing the consequences of pride and neglect in a polytheistic world where gods mirrored human traits.
