This CD-Rom compares the full text of Ovid's Metamorphoses (bilingual edition by Danièle Robert for Actes Sud) with the illustrations the work has inspired in Western art. It provides a lively introduction to mythology, through stories ranging from the creation of the world to the exploits and loves of gods and mortals. Dictionaries of art (art history, artists), Greece and Rome (themes and characters), and theogony facilitate research and further study.
