The theme of the Metamorphoses is change and transformation, as illustrated in Graeco-Roman myth and legend. On this ostensibly unifying thread Ovid strings together a vast and kaleidoscopic sequence of brilliant narratives, in which the often
paradoxical and always arbitrary fates of his human and divine characters reflect the never-ending flux and reflux of the universe itself.
