I've mentioned a number of times that I suspect some Voynich plants have been inspired by Greco-Roman stories rather than imagery. In today's blog post, I compare these plants, to see whether their stories can be tracked to a single source. To my surprise, they can.
The five scenes that I analyzed all appear to have been taken literally from Ovid's Metamorphoses. This came as a surprises for me, as I wasn't expecting a single source, much less a Roman one.
There are way too many images to post in this thread, so I'll just link the post:
