The metamorphoses

v. 1. Books I-VIII.

v. 2. Books IX-XV.

The shaping of changes

Of mortal children and immortal lusts

The wrath of Juno

Spinning yarns and weaving tales

Contests of arms and song

Of praise and punishment

Of the ties that bind

Impious acts and exemplary lives

Desire, deceit, and difficult deliveries

The songs of Orpheus

Rome begins at Troy

Around and about the Iliad

Spoils of war and pangs of love

Around and about the Aeneas

Prophetic acts and visionary dreams.

v. 1. Books I-VIII.

v.2. Books IX-XV.
