'Haar lichaam smolt, haar botten bogen door, haar nagels werden
heel week, en eerst werd al wat dun was aan haar lichaam vloeibaar:
haar vingers, benen, voeten en het donkerblauwe haar
-allemaal nog vrij licht- versmolten binnen korte tijd
met 't koele water; daarna losten schouders, rug en borst
en onderlijf onzichtbaar op in zachtvloeiende stromen,
totdat het water in de aangetaste aderen
het levend bloed verving'

Romans gave less of a fuck about respecting gods. in a way, yeah i love it. but it does make Ovid write a lot worse behavior that didn't exist with Greek works regarding the same myths.
