Metamorphoses

Synopsis

The theme of the metamorphoses is change and transformation, as illustrated in graeco-roman myth and legend. On this ostensibly unifying thread ovid strings together a vast and kaleidoscopic sequence of brilliant narratives, in which the often paradoxical and always arbitrary fates of his human and divine characters reflect the never-ending flux and reflux of the universe itself. About the series: for over 100 years oxford world's classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
