Love changes us. Power transforms us. Fate has a taste for irony.

The Ovid Library brings the works of Ovid to life in full: tales of gods and mortals, desire and betrayal, wit and exile, bodies altered and hearts undone. From the dazzling transformations of the Metamorphoses to the intimate voices of the Heroides and the playful provocations of his love poetry, these are stories that have survived because they still know us.

Come for the myths. Stay for the mischief, beauty, cruelty, longing, and the poet who understood that nothing, not even we ourselves, remains unchanged.Public domain
