The focus of this article is an exhibition held at the National Gallery in London, Metamorphosis: Titian, 2012, and a companion volume of poems by fourteen leading contemporary poets, Metamorphosis: Poems Inspired by Titian (2012). The exhibition was based on just two myths from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, both memorably depicted by Titian, the tales of Actaeon and Callisto. This article analyses the many parallels between the intratextual dynamics of the Metamorphoses and the internal energies of the multi-arts exhibition, in particular the permeation of the boundary between the textual/visual world and our own reality. Many of the modern exhibitors share Ovid’s sympathetic identification with Actaeon, made explicit in his exile poetry, and use the myth as a way of exploring male sexual vulnerability. Some draw intriguing parallels between Titian and Diana, who both, in their different ways, shape reality. The complex links and disjunctures between the exhibits further mirror the ambiguous and shifting relationships between the dramatis personae of the two myths at the heart of this exhibition.

变形记：受提香启发的诗歌：逆转与反思

本文的重点是在伦敦国家美术馆举办的展览“变形：提香”，2012 年，以及十四位当代著名诗人的随笔诗集“变形：提香启发的诗歌”（2012 年）。展览仅基于奥维德的变形记中的两个神话，这两个神话都被提香所描绘，以及阿克泰翁和卡利斯托的故事。本文分析了变形记的内在动力与多元艺术展览的内在能量之间的许多相似之处，特别是文本/视觉世界与我们自己的现实之间边界的渗透。许多现代参展商都认同奥维德对阿克泰翁的同情，在他的流放诗歌中明确表达了这一点，并利用神话作为探索男性性弱点的一种方式。有些人在提香和戴安娜之间画了有趣的相似之处，他们都以不同的方式塑造了现实。展品之间复杂的联系和脱节进一步反映了本次展览核心的两个神话的戏剧人物之间模棱两可和不断变化的关系。
