The Metamorphoses

Reading of Ovid's myths and folk tales
from archive.org

The Metamorphoses, by Publius Ovidius Naso (43 BC-AD 17) has,
over the centuries, been the most popular and influential work from our
classical tradition. This extraordinary collection of some 250 Greek and
Roman myths and folk tales has always been a popular favourite and has
decisively shaped European art and literature from the moment it was
completed in AD 8. The stories are particularly vivid when read by David
Horovitch in this new lively verse translation by Ian Johnston.
