Metamorphoses (Ovid)

Ovid's Latin poem in fifteen books on "forms transformed to bodies new", running from the creation of the world to the deification of Julius Caesar under Augustus. It retells the Greek myths under Roman names and ends on Italian soil with Aeneas, Pomona, Romulus's apotheosis and Numa. Read here in Brookes More's 1922 translation, cited by book and Latin line.
