Metamorphoses by Ovid Book I read by A Poetry Channel

Metamorphoses by Ovid Written 1 A.C.E. Translated by Sir Samuel Garth, John Dryden, et al Today I have re-released my reading of Ovid’s monumental epic poem of transformation. Every archetype known to modern man stems from this 2000 year old work. It has spawned countless works of art of every kind in every modality. I used the Samuel Garth, John Dryden (& company) translations because the language is flawless. The 15 books comprised herein require over 17 hours of listening… I have no idea how many hours it took me to find all the illustrations and of course to record and edit them all.

In many of the stories, mythical characters are used to illustrate examples of obedience or disobedience toward the gods, and for their actions are either rewarded or punished by a final transformation into some animal, vegetable, or astronomical form. The importance of metamorphosis is more apparent than real, however; the essential theme of the poem is passion (pathos), and that gives it more unity than all the ingenious linking and framing devices the poet uses. The erotic emphasis that had dominated Ovid’s earlier poetry is broadened and deepened into an exploration of nearly every variety of human emotion—for his gods are nothing if not human. That undertaking brought out, as his earlier work had not, Ovid’s full powers: his wit and rhetorical brilliance, his mythological learning, and the peculiar qualities of his fertile imagination. The vast quantities of verse in both Greek and Latin that Ovid had read and assimilated are transformed, through a process of creative adaptation, into original and unforeseen guises. By his genius for narrative and vivid description, Ovid gave to scores of Greek legends, some of them little known before, their definitive form for subsequent generations. No single work of literature has done more to transmit the riches of the Greek imagination to posterity. By 8 ce the Metamorphoses was complete, if not yet formally published; and it was at that moment, when Ovid seemed securely placed on a pinnacle of successful achievement, that he was banished to Tomis by the emperor Augustus.
