The theme of Metamorphoses is change and transformation, as depicted in Greek and Roman myths and legends. In this seemingly unifying thread, Ovid connects an endless and kaleidoscopic sequence of luminous narratives, in which the often paradoxical and always arbitrary fates of his human and divine characters reflect the constant flow and regression of the universe itself.
