Lycaon Turns Into A Wolf - Caesar's Turn Into God's

I found this helpful article on The Metamorphoses online:

"These latter are then realized in many different forms in the poem, most notably in the first and last of its metamorphoses of human beings, Lycaon turned into a wolf, Julius Caesar and Augustus turned into gods. Ovid's concern, then, is with human nature rather than human origins, and his "treasury of tales about men" constitute an "encyclopedic-narrative science of man," an "anthropology made out of stories" (p. 30)." - http://bmcr.brynmawr.edu/1992/03.04.12.html
