The Roman poet of love and transformation, best known for the Metamorphoses, a sweeping tapestry of myths linked by the theme of change, from the creation of the world to his own day. Witty, sensuous, and endlessly inventive, he became the great storehouse of classical mythology for later ages and a profound influence on Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Western art.
