Is there a Greek version of metamorphoses? That tells the stories of Greek Mythology?

>> No.14963855

Fuck it and post some of collections of greek tragedies too. I'm tired of philosophers using examples of stories I never heard of.

Nymphs were gushing all over him and he fell in love with his own reflection instead. Yes.

The metamorphoses is not the most comprehensive source for Greek mythology. The myths included all at least loosely relate to the subject of change and those that aren't are either barely mentioned or ignored entirely. It's a work of literature in its own right with an intent behind it.
