Acteon le chasseur transforme en cerf, Daphne en laurier, Zeus en taureau... les metamorphoses sont partout dans la litterature grecque et latine. Qu'elles expliquent la naissance du monde, l'apparition des plantes ou des astres, elles content une autre histoire naturelle, non biologique mais poetique, nourrie des aspirations humaines les plus essentielles: dieux et hommes se metamorphosent, ou metamorphosent les autres, par vengeance, punition, jalousie ou convoitise.Pourquoi ces metamorphoses nous parlent-elles tant ? C'est qu'elles disent notre secret desir de vivre une autre vie, sous une autre identite. Ces tres anciens recits nous plongent dans les origines de nos grands questionnements sur la separation entre l'homme et l'animal, sur la question des genres masculin et feminin, et sur le depassement des frontieres entre humain et machine. La centaine de textes reunis ici trace un pont entre les metamorphoses grecques et latines et le XXIe siecle du posthumanisme, et nous rappelle que les robots de demain sont les Protee d'hier.
