Ovid invites us to assume that the boar hunt, which marksthe center of the Metamorphoses, will be a grandset piece. The list of heroes participating in the hunt suggeststhat impressive feats will be performed. However, in a reversaltypical of Ovid, the hunt turns out to be a farce. The heroes mayhave great reputations, but they are comically bad at hunting. Theonly person with a modicum of skill is Atalanta, a woman hunter,who barely wounds the boar. Another reversal occurs when the honorof the hunt, a traditionally male prize, goes to Atalanta.
The final set of stories in Book VIII tackles the themeof reward and punishment. The gods reward Baucis and Philemon fortheir piety and punish Erysichthon for his impiety. On a deeperlevel, the rewards and punishments meted out are merely extensions,and exaggerations, of the characters’ lives. Baucis and Philemonare given the honor of being priests of Jupiter, but they are alreadyacting as priests might, living existences characterized by pietyand hospitality. They ask to be together in life and death, butagain, that unity is something they already enjoy. They ask forand receive what they already possess. The same is true of Erysichthon.He has an insatiable appetite for destruction, as evidenced by hiscruel murder of the sacred tree. His punishment merely literalizesthat appetite and eventually turns it inward.
