Title : The Metamorphoses - Ovid - Book
Summary :
A monumental poem composed of fifteen books and twelve thousand verses, The Metamorphoses (1st century) recounts the mythical history of the world, from the original chaos to the reign of Augustus. Drawing on the treasures of Greek fables, Ovid sings of the miracle of the transformation of bodies and reveals the porosity of the boundaries between gods and men, land and sea, fauna and flora. The incestuous Myrrha transforms into a tree; the imprudent Actaeon transforms into a stag; the beautiful Narcissus becomes a flower... What does metamorphosis tell us? A true sublimation of divine and human beings, of animals and plants, it manifests the permanence of life in a world in perpetual movement.
