Antōninou Liberalis Metamorphōseōn Synagōgē = Antonini Liberalis Transformationum Congeries

by Antōninou Liberalis

Antoninus Liberalis is a relatively un-explored Greek writer who wrote a collection of Greek mythical narratives most likely during the reign of Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius between 137 and 161CE These Greek-language myths mostly pertain to metamorphoses and are significant in comparison to other metamorphoses (such as those by Ovid) due to the “somewhat unusual twists” on the characters. Most of Atoninus’s myths are short and somewhat repetitive and “monotonous” with a high frequency of bird metamorphoses and offended gods However, his works are made unique with the explanation of obscure local legends

This particular edition of The Metamorphoses of Antoninus Liberalis was printed in the original Greek and translated into Latin in Amsterdam in 1676. In 1992, for the first time, his Metamorphoses were translated into English and commented on by Francis Celoria.
