A public domain reading of The Heliades and Cycnus from Ovid’s Metamorphoses (Book 2, Lines 401–531), translated by Brookes More. Following the death of Phaëthon, his sisters are transformed into poplar trees through unending grief, while Cycnus, mourning his companion, is reshaped into a swan. This episode explores the lingering consequences of divine catastrophe — grief, memory, and metamorphosis as forms of survival rather than punishment. Part of an ongoing series presenting Ovid’s Metamorphoses in full, read clearly and faithfully from public domain translations. Suitable for students, scholars, and listeners drawn to classical myth, transformation, and elegiac storytelling. 🎓 Learn more about Greek myth and its themes: Greek Mythology 101 (Udemy) https://www.udemy.com/course/greek-mytholo... 📜 Listen to the complete Ovid playlist:    • Ovid’s Metamorphoses – Public Domain Readings
