Actaeon by Ovid
In this mythological tale, a young hunter stumbles upon a secluded grove where the goddess Diana is bathing with her nymphs. Enraged by his intrusion, Diana transforms the hunter into a stag. As he flees in terror, he is tragically pursued and ultimately killed by his own hunting dogs, who fail to recognize their master in his new form. The story explores themes of transformation, the consequences of voyeurism, and the often harsh justice meted out by the gods.
