Ovid’s Metamorphoses

Collector: Ann V.
Reviewed by Lesson Planet
Publisher
Lesson Planet Curated

Ovid’s The Metamorphoses is the anchor text in a three-lesson unit module that asks readers to compare how Ovid recounts the creation story with how it is presented in the Book of Genesis, how point of view affects the meaning of the myth of Orpheus, and Eurydice, and compare how graphic artists represent that same myth as Ovid. The lessons may be taught in sequence or independently.
