'Die Metamorphosen waren aber auch das romanhaft spannende Repertorium der Mythologie. Wer war Phaeton? Lycaon? Procne? Arachne? Für tausend solche Fragen war Ovid das Who´s Who. Man mußte sich darin auskennen. Sonst verstand man die lateinischen Dichter nicht. Außerdem hatten alle mythologischen Geschichten einen allegorischen Sinn. Ovid war also auch ein Schatzhaus der Moral.' Besser als Ernst Robert Curtius kann man die Bedeutung von Ovids großem Epos nicht würdigen, das wie kein anderes lateinisches Werk die Literatur, Kunst, ja selbst die Musik der folgenden zwei Jahrtausende befruchtet hat.
