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. See Westermann, Mythographi Graeci (1843); Oder, De Antonino Liberali (1886).
