Summary

Liv reads Ovid's Metamorphoses, translated by Bookes More. In the second half of Book I!, there are just too many stories of transformation to list here!

CW/TW: Much of this work includes stories of gods assaulting women and nymphs, some of these stories can be particularly troubling. Listen with caution.

This is not a standard narrative story episode, it's a reading of an ancient source, audiobook style. For regular episodes look for any that don't have "Liv Reads..." in the title! For a list of Roman/Latin names and who they were in the Greek, visit: mythsbaby.com/names
