Metamorfoze
Metamorphoses in 15 books, 250 stories and 11,995 hexameters are narrated by Greek and Roman legends in which a kind of transformation occurs from the first metamorphosis of Chaos to the transformation of Caesar into a Star and the apotheosis of Augustus.
In the Metamorphoses, Ovid tried to create his opus perpetuum, a long-breathed song built on the world of ancient myth. Characters who have undergone a transformation are either demigods or heroes or people of mediocre status, and what happens to them in Ovid is shown to be highly charged with the fantastic.
