Ovid's deliciously witty and exuberant epic starts with the creation of the world and brings together a series of ingeniously linked Greek and Roman myths and legends in which men and women are transformed, often by love - into flowers, trees, stones and stars. This new verse translation, in simple and swift English hexameters, allows Ovid's narrative to flow - pulling the reader along with it.

Ovid's contributions to literature include his use of mythology and his innovative storytelling techniques. He had a significant impact on the development of poetry and influenced later writers such as Chaucer and Shakespeare. Ovid's most famous work, "Metamorphoses," remains a classic of Western literature.
