Metamorphosen

The history of the world from creation to the present day – told in a single continuous poem of around 12,000 verses: In Ovid's famous epic, the old continually gives rise to the new. Plants, stones, celestial bodies, animals – everything has its story, and there is an explanation, a myth for each. The most famous of these transformation stories frequently appear in visual art; in this edition, they can be discovered in a prose translation.
