Not to great effect; the 'Metamorphoses' is not a comedy
Morpheus is the Greek god of dreams. He is the son of Somnus. He also makes an appearance in the Metamorphoses by Ovid.
Ovid's 'Metamorphoses' has the theme of love and it's sadness running throughout. There is a theme of violent god's punishing the wicked and rewarding the worthy.
The temporal scope of Ovid's "Metamorphoses" spans from the creation of the world to the deification of Julius Caesar, covering a vast array of mythological and historical narratives. The poem is structured as a continuous epic that weaves together various transformation stories, highlighting the themes of change and the fluidity of identity. It encompasses both mythical times and historical events, illustrating the interplay between gods, mortals, and the natural world. Overall, it reflects a broad narrative arc that bridges ancient mythology with the poet's contemporary Roman society.
Titarnia is a modern form of the name Titania from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" he took it from Ovids " Metamorphoses". The character in Shakespeares tale is the queen of the fairies.
Ovids Metamorphoses is a Narrative poem... And epics are Narrative poetry too. So the book should include The Aeneid then. Weird.---- Peter Boxall's book 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die is silly in a lot more ways than just not including The Aeneid (which is probably the most important poem ever composed in western Europe).As you mention, it includes Ovid's Metamorphoses - a book which is mainly important not for itself, but for the books it influenced - but omits anything by Plato or Aristotle, as well as the Iliad and the Odyssey.It has no Shakespeare, Racine, Villon, Corneille, Dante, Petrarch, Lucretius. It has one title by Samuel Johnson, but two by B S Johnson. And it makes room for nonsense by Robert Coover, Tim O'Brien, and - naturally - Peter Ackroyd (one of the editors).It is a silly book, by silly people, for silly people - and is itself one of the 1001 books you certainly don't need to read before you die.
