Ovid is best known for Metamorphoses. By creating a transformation in Okimid's epic, Okimid's epic, Ovid invited him to compare with his oldest Roman poet Virgil who deliberately wrote Eneid's Epic. Regarding morphology, rhythm and size, the transformation record is entirely in the epic category.

The time series of this poem is also chaotic. Orbit started his poetry with the story of creation and flooding, and finished the day when Augustus was at the throne.
