Bro this was sooooo hard to read 😭 idk if it’s just this translation but it’s so flowery and why all the obscure names?? Like it’s confusing. Overall this was super fun to read and I’m proud that I did it! Because it had soooo many of the myths I know and it was nice to finally read them with their source, in a way, you know? But also there were some details I hadn’t known that I think could work in a future thesis which was killer haha. 
No matter what- no matter how familiar and exhausting- this book will be special to me. To see so much of Roman mythology and some Greek written in one place. To see the myths I’ve spent years learning about in books and podcasts all be in their home. It’s cool to see how Ovid flowed from one myth to another and how he worked out the narrator for each book.
