The overarching theme of metamorphosis in Greek myths often centers around transformation as a means of enlightenment or escape. Characters, such as Lycaon and Actaeon, undergo profound changes, reflecting moral lessons or punishment. These transformations, from human to animal or into other forms, convey the fluidity of identity and morality, highlighting the consequences of hubris, love, or divine intervention. Metamorphosis serves as a vehicle for exploring deeper philosophical questions about existence.
