"Metamorphoses" author (4)
I believe the answer is:
ovid
'metamorphoses author' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for ovid that I've seen before include "Roman poet exiled by Augustus to Tomi on the Black Sea, where he died, AD 17" , "Vi, do read the Latin poet" , "Roman poet, d. about AD17" , "Writer" , "Roman known for his love poetry" .)
