''[[The Metamorphoses]]'', completed in 8 AD, is a [[Narrative Poem]] by the Roman poet Publius Ovidius Naso, better known today as [[Ovid]]. The fifteen books of the poem consist of many stories from [[Classical Mythology|Greek and Roman mythology]].
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.
