{{quote|''"flavaque de viridi stillabant ilice mella." <ref>(And golden honey was dripping from a green oak tree.)</ref>''|'''Ovid''', ''The Metamorphoses'', Bk.I:112}}

 

 

These stories range from the origin of the world from Chaos to the deification of Caesar and the celebration of Augustus's rule over Rome. Countless tales from mythology are told in between, including the stories of "Apollo and Daphne," "Orpheus and Eurydice," "Baucis and Philemon," "Daedalus and Icarus," et cetera.

 

Not to be confused with [[Franz Kafka]]'s ''[[The Metamorphosis]]''.
