“The better part of me will be borne forever beyond the high stars, and my name will never die. Wherever Rome extends its power over the conquered world I will be on men's lips, and if a sacred poet has any power to prophesy the truth,
throughout the ages I will live on in fame.”
Ovid wasn't wrong! Some 2,000 years after he wrote that, I enjoyed this epic poem.
I will say, I think this book should be read after reading The Iliad, The Odyssey, and The Aeneid - you'll gain a much deeper appreciation for Metamorphoses by doing so.
