"Ovid is, after Homer, the single most important source for classical mythology. The Metamorphoses, which he wrote over the six-year period leading up to his exile from Rome in 8 a.d. , is the primary source for over two hundred classical legends that survived to the twenty-first century. Many of the most familiar classical myths, including the stories of Apollo and Daphne and Pyramus and Thisbe, come directly from Ovid. The Metamorphoses is a twelve-thousand-line poem, written in dactylic hexameters and arranged loosely in chronological order from the beginning of the universe's creation to the Augustan Rome of Ovid's own time. The major theme of the Metamorphoses, as the title suggests, is metamorphosis, or change. Throughout the fifteen books making up the Metamorphoses, the idea of change is pervasive. Gods are continually transforming their own selves and shapes, as well as the shapes and beings of humans. The theme of power is also ever-present in Ovid's work. The gods as depicted by the Roman poets are wrathful, vengeful, capricious creatures who are forever turning their powers against weaker mortals and half-mortals, especially females. Ovid's own situation as a poet who was exiled because of Augustus's capriciousness is thought by many to be reflected in his depictions of the relationships between the gods and humans." -- from http://www.enotes.com/metamorphoses-of-ovid (Jan. 24, 2011.)

English summary: Ovid's Metamorphoses, one of the most influential books in world literature, provides an infinite source of inspiration for poets, painters, musicians and psychologists. Between the quest for identity and its loss, man keeps changing while also transforming his environment. The principle of metamorphosis influences cities, kingdoms, gods, religions and even the appearance of the earth. In this study, key motifs are made accessible through individual interpretation. The focus lies on the text's literary qualities, not least the overall structure consisting of three books in five parts, each of which forms an individual reading unit, a fact that has barely been taken into consideration thus far. Fifteen classical engravings also allow for a fresh approach to the work as a whole. German description: Ovids 'Metamorphosen', eines der folgenreichsten Bucher der Weltliteratur, sind als Fundgrube des Mythos eine unerschopfliche Inspirationsquelle fur Dichter, Maler, Musiker und Psychologen. Zwischen Identitatssuche und -verlust wandelt sich der Mensch standig und verwandelt seine Umwelt. Das Prinzip Metamorphose bestimmt Stadte, Reiche, Gotter, Religionen, ja das Erscheinungsbild der Erde. Einzelinterpretationen erschliessen zentrale Themen, so Kreativitat und Gefahrdung des Menschen. Orpheus leistet als Kunstler Ubermenschliches, scheitert aber an seiner ubergrossen Liebe. Perfekte technische Spezialisierung fuhrt fur Arachne zum Verlust der Menschennatur. Aus dem Jager Actaeon wird ein gejagtes Wild: eine kafkaeske Erfahrung, die Ovids Verbannungsschicksal vorwegnimmt. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt literarischen Qualitaten, nicht zuletzt dem Gesamtaufbau aus dreimal funf Buchern, deren jedes eine Leseeinheit bildet (was bisher weniger beachtet wurde). Funfzehn alte Stiche ermoglichen einen frischen Zugang zum Ganzen.

'Still remarkably vivid. It is easier to read this for pure pleasure than just about any other ancient text' Nicholas Lezard, Guardian Ovid's sensuous and witty poem begins with the creation of the world and brings together a dazzling array of mythological tales, ingeniously linked by the idea of transformation - often as a result of love or lust - where men and women find themselves magically changed into extraordinary new beings. Including the well-known stories of Daedalus and Icarus, Pyramus and Thisbe, Pygmalion, Perseus and Andromeda, and the fall of Troy, the Metamorphoses has influenced writers and artists from Shakespeare and Chaucer to Picasso and Ted Hughes. This translation by David Raeburn is in hexameter verse, which brilliantly captures the energy and spontaneity of the original. Translated by DAVID RAEBURN with an Introduction by DENIS FEENEY
