“Many metamorphoses involve the loss of the most characteristic feature of humanity, the ability to speak: Io is reduced to mooing, Echo to repetition. Metamorphosis also operates as actualized metaphor: Anaxarete is the proverbial hardhearted mistress; impervious to the entreaties of her would-be lover, she is literally turned to stone.”
