A little about the book
Ovid connects myths by following transformations across families and generations. The opening books move from the making of the world through stories in which gods, artists and lovers find that one irreversible act can change what a body is.
The links between tales are often as interesting as the famous scenes. A speaker can turn an episode into a story inside another story, shifting who is able to explain what happened.
