Antoninus Liberalis

Antoninus Liberalis, Greek grammarian, probably flourished about AD 150.

His only surviving work is the Metamorphoses, a collection of forty-one tales about mythical metamorphoses which is chiefly valuable as a source of mythological knowledge.

This work has no connection to the Metamorphoses written by the poet Ovid or with the Metamorphoses written by Lucius Apuleius.
