Mythological tales often feature themes of transformation and change in stories like the Greek myth of Metamorphoses, where characters undergo physical or spiritual changes, symbolizing deeper meanings. In the Native American tradition, tales often depict shapes shifting into animals or elements, reflecting the unity of all beings. Similarly, in Hindu mythology, the story of Vishnu taking various avatars showcases divine transformation to restore balance in the universe. These transformations emphasize growth, adaptation, and the cyclical nature of life.
