About This Book

Una serie de relatos mitológicos enlaza episodios sobre amores, venganzas y castigos que desembocan en transformaciones físicas y simbólicas. Se narran asedios y combates, vuelos e invenciones ingeniosas, caídas trágicas, rescates y metamorfosis de humanos en plantas, animales o astros, así como escenas de música, funerales y apoteosis. Los episodios, presentados como fábulas encadenadas, exploran cómo la pasión, la culpa y la intervención divina provocan cambios irreversibles en cuerpos y destinos, alternando momentos narrativos de acción con pasajes de tono lírico y reflexivo.
