| The Roman poet Ovid, born in 43 bc, composed the Metamorphoses, a series of tales considered one of the most important poems of all time. Notable for its smooth transitions, Ovid’s epic composition charts the history of the world from its creation to the time of Julius Caesar. Thematically, Ovid emphasized the instability inherent in the world. Ovid’s poetry, known for its narrative style, ingenuity, and wit, has served as an influence and inspiration to many generations of writers. | ||||||
