Read the excerpt from The Metamorphoses by Ovid.
They go down... and cast stones, as ordered,
behind their footsteps. The stones... began to lay
aside their hardness and their stiffness, and by
degrees to become soft, and when softened, to
assume a new form. Presently after, when they were
grown larger... some shape of man might be seen in
them... Yet that part of them which was humid with
any moisture, and earthy, was turned into portions
adapted for the use of the body. That which is solid,
and cannot be bent, is changed into bones. And in
a little time, by the interposition of the Gods above,
the stones thrown by the hands of the man, took the
shape of a man, and the female race was renewed by
the throwing of the woman. Thence are we a hardy
generation, and able to endure fatigue, and we give
proofs from what original we are sprung.
How does the adaptation differ from the original?
Ovid explains where humanity originates, while
Baldwin specifies that the rocks become the
Hellenes.
Baldwin uses the story as a creation story, while
Ovid uses it to encourage people to honor the
gods.
Baldwin emphasizes the positive aspects of the
new Hellenic society, while Ovid does not.
Ovid says that the people made from rocks are
less than human, while Baldwin does not.

меньше людей, а Болдуин - нет.
