If Book I of Metamorphoses foregrounded rivers, water, earth, and a surfeit of embracing wetness, Book II is far more concerned with fire and air, with an excess of heat, and with those who think to "rise too high."

1. Phaethon
2. Callisto & Jupiter
3. Coronis & Apollo
4. Ocyroe & Aesculapius
5. Battus & Mercury
6. Aglauros & Mercury
7. Europa & Jupiter
