ovid metamorphosis

Dr Edwin has been assigning us to search information on Ovid Metamorphosis since last semester, in EDU3067 subject. But this issue was not emphasized then. In this semester, we were asked again to search information on Ovid. Initially, I did not have a clue who he was. After reading his works and searching more information on the internet that I found out he has such a big influence in medieval poetry. Other than that, it was interesting to know that William Shakespeare’s writing was influenced by Ovid. I have not had the chance to read the complete Metamorphoses yet, but I think I will want to read it one day. Dr Edwin has included ‘Deadalus and Icarus’ and also ‘Pyramus and Thisbe’ as a compulsory reading in this subject. Personally, I enjoyed reading both stories. It has its own moral value and novelty touch. I have also realized that Romeo and Juliet has slightly a similar plot to ‘Pyramus and Thisbe’.
