Description acceptable. A baby created as the outcome of this ability is sewn into a sack and thrown into the ocean, before being rescued and named “shining brow.” Eidothea warns one hero that her father has this ability, and tells that hero to find him among seals. Gwion Bach enters a contest of this ability after Ceridwen steals the mead of poetry and is reincarnated as Taliesin. Menelaus has to (*) hold on to a man while he performs this activity. (10[1])The “Old Man of the Sea,” Proteus, notably possesses this ability, giving rise to the word “protean.” Zeus frequently uses this ability to seduce maidens (10[1])in the form of a swan or a cloud. For 10 points, name this ability, the primary subject of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. ■END■
