A public domain reading of Mercury and Battus; Mercury and Herse from Ovid’s Metamorphoses (Book 2, Lines 752–832), translated by Brookes More. This concluding episode of Book 2 presents two connected tales centered on Mercury: the punishment of Battus for betraying a secret, and the god’s desire for Herse, shaped by envy, obstruction, and transformation. Together, these stories explore themes of loyalty, silence, divine desire, and the consequences of speech. This reading forms the final segment of Book 2 in an ongoing, sequential presentation of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, drawn from public domain translations for listeners interested in classical mythology and ancient literature. ▶ Full Metamorphoses playlist:    • Ovid’s Metamorphoses – Public Domain Readings   ▶ Greek Mythology course (Udemy): https://www.udemy.com/course/greek-mytholo...
