Ovid’s Metamorphoses (8 AD) is one of the most influential works in Western literature — fifteen books of continuous Latin verse retelling over two hundred mythological transformation stories, from the creation of the world to the apotheosis of Julius Caesar. Its influence on Shakespeare, Chaucer, and countless others is incalculable.

This edition presents both volumes in English blank verse, preserving the sweep and colour of Ovid’s original. The free EPUB is cleanly formatted with all fifteen books complete and ready to read on any device.
