Ovid’s major work, the ''Metamorphoses'', makes pains to be anti-''[[Virgil's Aeneid|Aeneid]]'' in its disregard of authority and the interests of the state: it has no epic hero, it critiques unity by contriving connections, and does not lead to a central order. Rather than taking an elevated tone, the Metamorphoses plays with style and theme to make this history’s first anti-epic. Yet, despite the playful wit and iconoclasm of the ''Metamorphoses'', Ovid takes on some themes that have truly serious nature, even for readers today.
