Greek mythology is filled with tales of metamorphosis, where gods transform nymphs and mortals into new forms as rewards, protection, or punishment. Characters like Daphne, Narcissus, and Callisto undergo such changes, often becoming plants, animals, or even constellations. These stories not only reflect the gods' power but also convey moral lessons on piety, humility, and respect for the divine order.
