《變形記》由十五冊詩所組成，講述了自世界形成之始以來的歷史。全書以「改變」、「轉換」為主軸，並大量引用了來自希臘神話、羅馬神話及民間故事中的情節、角色和設定。這部作品就如同一本充滿詩意的百科全書，用其獨到的觀點解釋世間萬物。
但丁、薄伽丘、喬叟、莎士比亞等文學家皆受到《變形記》的影響。在文學領域外，文藝復興及巴洛克時期藝術家經常以神話為主題進行創作，《變形記》中的故事也經常成為雕塑、繪畫、音樂方面的題材。
Charles Martin的精確翻譯不僅通順易讀且充滿魅力，更能感受到宇宙萬物的變動性瀰漫在整本書中。
Winner of the 2004 Harold Morton Landon Translation Award from the Academy of American Poets, Charles Martin’s blank-verse translation of the Metamorphoses is a “smoothly readable, accurate, charming, subtle yet clear” (Richard Wilbur) version that “highlights [the poem’s] lightness and pervasive sense of universal mutability” (Michael Dirda).
