I have to say the truth. For me, it was very difficult for me to understand what Metamorphoses was about. I couldn't understand very well what the voice said, not because he had a bad pronunciation or because I didn't understand the words, but because it was complicated for me to piece up the information with the Latin translation in between. I think they should just have done two different versions.
When I understood something in it, they changed to Latin and I lost my thread of thought. It was difficult to concentrate, and to put it all together.
Judging from the title of the chapter and by what I did get from it, it was something about how the gods first created the earth. He said that they made everything, and made the planet as a perfect ball, so that each side would be equal. Whoever the god was who decided to make the world, then made water, to mix the earth, making rivers and lakes; all the water flowing to the sea.
He made all the valleys and made the mountains grow out, with water in between. The water and the land complemented each other. He then created snow and the climate, and balanced out the heat and the cold in temperature by making the temperate climate.
He went on about what he created in the earth, how and who did it. I understand that for the next chapter I will have to pay a lot more attention, because I realize it is not that easy to listen to a story. It might even be easier to read, because you can go at your own rate. I promise that next time I will do a better job, and that my post will be longer and more complete. =)
