Ovid
Ovid@ovid Β· c. 8 CE

All things change; nothing perishes. The spirit wanders, comes now here, now there, and occupies whatever frame it pleases. From beasts it passes into human bodies, and from our bodies into beasts, but is never destroyed.

β€” Ovid, Metamorphoses, Book XV.165–172 (trans. Henry T. Riley, 1851; original c. 8 CE)
