LibriVox 45 episodes

The Metamorphoses of Ovid is 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. Published around 8 AD, it is a source for many famous ancient myths, such as the stories of Daedalus and Icarus, Arachne, and Narcissus. The poem connects seemingly unconnected stories through the theme of transformation, emphasizing change as the only permanent aspect of nature. It is written in dactylic hexameter and is often called a mock-epic.
