A multi-faceted experience celebrating British creativity across the arts, 'Metamorphosis: Titian 2012' brings together a group of specially commissioned works responding to three of Titian's paintings -- 'Diana and Actaeon', 'The Death of Actaeon' and the recently acquired 'Diana and Callisto' -- which depict stories from Ovid's epic poem 'Metamorphoses'.

I watched the advert too, instead of skipping it - it looked worth watching!

[@sammyeagleson5352]

Finally a *good* adaptation of a Greek myth!

[@pmcberton8242]

that's an evocative trailer- and I think it highlights the really sick and cruel treatment of Actaeon, which is an aspect of the story that you can forget sometimes, when looking at the colourful classical painting.

[@redstar7292]

Its an allegorical myth. Diana is a Goddess of retribution. Violating someone is cruel. This is what its showing. It's very phalic the stags horns piercing his bare flesh over taking his being and identity, and his resultant face of agony.

[@rachelmazza4079]

I saw this for the first time like ten years ago and I still think about it

[@copony23]

Masterpiece ❤️❤️

[@thelairofjaziel]

Found this thanks to one of youtube's skippable ads on the beginning of a totally unrelated video... So glad I don't use an ad-blocker that gets rid of those. If I did, I would've missed out on this.

This is so macabre and so great!

[@murderballad1154]

Amazing. ♥

[@alexandrajay2001]

i feel like this video portrays Actaeon as more of a victim than he really was. In the original myth, he does not simply see Artemis bathing. Rather, he asks to marry her, and continues to harass her with declarations of love after she repeatedly demands he leaves her alone, and so she is driven to punish him cruelly. In two other myths she is seen bathing accidentally, and in those cases she only blinds or changes the sex of the perpetrators because thy treated her with respect and regretted seeing her, but custom demanded that maiden goddesses punish men who saw them naked.
