EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century engraving from an English translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses transports us to the realm of ancient Roman mythology. The scene depicted is none other than Jupiter, the mighty deity, using his divine powers to transform a group of ants into men known as the Myrmidons. As we gaze upon this intricately detailed print, we are drawn into a world where gods and mortals coexist in fantastical tales. The artist skillfully captures the moment of transformation within an oak tree, with Jupiter's commanding presence towering above. The enchanting image showcases not only the power and grandeur associated with Greco-Roman mythology but also highlights Ovid's epic poem that has captivated readers for centuries.
