 The "Metamorphoses" showed that Ovid was more interested in questioning how the laws interfered with people's lives than in writing epic tales like Virgil's "Aeneid" and Homer's "Odyssey".The "Metamorphoses" is not narrated by Ovid, but rather by the characters inside the stories.The myth of Myrrha and Cinyras is sung by Orpheus in the tenth book of "Metamorphoses" after he has told the myth of Pygmalion and before he turns to the tale of Venus and Adonis.
