À propos de ce contenu audio

 Dive into the enchanting world of Ovids Metamorphoses, one of the most renowned and influential works from the Ancient era. This captivating narrative poem spans fifteen books, weaving together mythological tales that explore the creation and evolution of the world. From its cosmogony to the deification of Julius Caesar, Ovids verses serve as a vital source for many famous ancient myths, including the stories of Daedalus and Icarus, Arachne, and Narcissus. While the structure may seem arbitrary, the underlying theme of transformation connects each tale, illustrating change as the sole constant in nature. Ovids masterful storytelling often retells pivotal moments in Greek mythology, while also taking unexpected turns. Written in dactylic hexameter, this mock-epic begins with a classic invocation of the muse and employs traditional epithets and circumlocutions. Rather than focusing on a single heros journey, Ovid artfully connects diverse stories, leading to Metamorphoses being likened to the Thousand and One Nights of the Ancient World.
