A review by mikeykfranks
Metamorphoses by Ovid
5.0
I would be remiss to give this work of incredibly poetry anything less than a five.
There are many stories that contain elements of themes that would possibly be triggering for some people. The gods are not kind, especially to women and young men.
There are many points in reading this where I felt bored and as though a few of these stories were just filler, especially towards the end when Ovid is telling the “history” of Rome.
But, overall, it was a great read. It features some of my favorite ancient stories (Orpheus and Eurydice, Daedalus and Icarus, etc.) and tells them in an accessible way. I’m pleased to have read this.
