What meter did Ovid use for the Metamorphoses?

Ovid used dactylic hexameter for his work Metamorphoses.1

Dactylic hexameter is a line of verse consisting of six feet, typically dactyls, and serves as the preeminent meter for narrative and didactic poetry in both Greek and Latin. In the context of the Metamorphoses, Ovid utilized this meter as a superb vehicle for rapid narrative and description, demonstrating his technical mastery in adapting the Latin language to traditional Greek forms.231

While Ovid is also well known for his use of the elegiac couplet in other works such as the Amores, the Metamorphoses is distinct for its use of the hexameter.14
