1661 OVID Metamorphoses Greek & Roman Mythology ART Illustrated Schrevel Latin

"I grabbed a pile of dust, and holding it up, foolishly asked for as many birthdays as the grains of dust, I forgot to ask that they be years of youth."

― Ovid, Metamorphoses

A fine 16th-century edition of Ovid's best work 'Metamorphoses'. 'Metamorphoses' is one of the most famous works of Greek and Roman mythology and history of the 1st-century.
