Metamorfóseos o Transformaciones (4 de 4)

by Ovid

Illustrated by José Asensio · Translated by Francisco Crivell

"Metamorfóseos o Transformaciones (4 de 4)" by Ovid is a Latin narrative poem from 8 CE. This monumental work chronicles world history from creation to Julius Caesar's deification through over 250 interconnected myths across 15 books. Defying simple classification, it blends epic storytelling with varied tones and themes, centering on transformation and love's power. The poem inverts divine order, elevating human passions while rendering gods ridiculous through Amor's influence. One of Western culture's most influential works, it has inspired countless artists, writers, and composers for centuries.
