Metamorphoses

I enjoyed reading Metamorphoses by Ovid. I found it to be more entertaining then the Epic of Gilgamesh and Genesis. I think that the may be because, at least in the case of Genesis, there was no religious background or meaning to it really. Since Metamorphoses was meant more as fiction and not religious instruction it was more appealing and intriguing. Also, Greek and Roman mythology is very interesting to me and I enjoyed the intertwining of the actual facts of Caesar into the story. I found it difficult to compare this story to the flood myths of Genesis and Giglamesh mostly because I felt that the background for it was entirely different. I also think that it was difficult because the flood story that is included in Metamorphoses is short and is almost like a passing thought in a much larger story.
