Even though Ovid wrote the book, Metamorphoses, a long time ago, it seems to have very similar concepts and ideas compared to Catholicism today. This first chapter talks about the creation of the Earth. The way it's described in the book is very similar to the way it's described in the Bible. Both say that God created the Earth, first with nothing but emptiness, and then filled it up little by little with land, ocean, air, lakes, rivers, trees, etc. He created the heaven and the underworld and divided them apart. Technically, this first chapter only talks and describes about how the world could have started. In the beginning, the author describes how dark, sad, and lonely the world was. But then, the author starts to describe in a more hopeful and cheerful manner, the creation of the Earth and everything added on to it later on.
The first chapter was okay but the events in this book seem to be going really slowly. It might be because of how slow the guy narrates the story in the audio file but besides that, it's fine.
