"Metamorfóseos ó Transformaciones" by Ovid is a narrative poem written in the early 1st century AD. This classic work is a rich collection of mythological tales that explore themes of transformation and change, encapsulating a vast array of stories featuring numerous gods, mortals, and mystical beings. Central to this poetic collection are characters such as Píramo and Tisbe, whose tragic love story illustrates the powerful consequences of desire and miscommunication, as well as the encounters of other figures with the deities that lead to their transformation. The opening of "Metamorfóseos" presents the daughters of Minos, Alcitoe and her sisters, who audaciously disregard the celebrations honoring Bacchus while engaging in weaving. As they share stories among themselves to lighten their work, they recount various myths of transformation, such as the change of berries' colors and the love stories of gods like Apollo and Leucotoe, solidifying the theme of transformation that runs throughout the text. This initial setup leads to their own transformation into bats as a punishment for their negligence, setting the stage for the interconnected tales that explore the nature of love, jealousy, and divine retribution inherent in Ovid's work.
