Creation has been a topic of much question through time. The big bang theory is a credible version of how the world came to be but then there is also the moral part of creation which is all about God. According to The Bible, God created Earth in 7 days. The creation being described in this part makes me wonder if this, in a The Bible point of view, is how God created Earth:"He first molded the Earth into a the form of a mighty ball so it might be of like form on every side. Then he bathed the waters to spread abroad to rise in waves beneath the rushing winds...". The difference here is that in Greek Mythology many gods existed and it is not specified which of these many gods was the one to change this mass.
I noticed that personification is used a lot in this reading. Describing the different changes going on, Ovid gave life to inanimate objects such as the ocean and water:"nor had the oceans stretched her arms".
Up to now I am very intrigued with what will happen. Metamorphoses can only be related with the creation going at the beginning and how things evolve like a caterpillar into a butterfly. Later on as we read I am sure the title will make more sense on the change the characters go through in the story.
