Antoninus Liberalis

Antoninus Liberalis Transformationum congeries, 1676 edition

Antoninus Liberalis (Greek: Ἀντωνῖνος Λιβεράλις) was an Ancient Greek grammarian who probably flourished between the second and third centuries AD.[1] He is known as the author of The Metamorphoses, a collection of tales that offers new variants of already familiar myths as well as stories that are not attested in other ancient sources.[2]

  1. ^ Celoria 1992, p. 2: "His dates are a matter of nervous speculation: 'second to third century AD'. This is perhaps the best that be suggested after centuries of scholarship. He belongs to that stage of later Greek culture which has been labelled as 'Hellenistic'".
