Biography: Kline, Tony. "Ovid's Metamorphoses," available at Mythfolklore blog. 

Reading Ovid makes you realize how the ancient Greeks and Roman's viewed the world and also how they wished to view it. When speaking in specifics, I would like to illustrate to myself the importance of emotions (particularly passionate ones) factor into the decisions made from above. These people believed that on a whim the gods could destroy their entire lives. What Ovid focuses on in general though is how the people have perseverance and due strength because they have survived such gods.
