Annotated & Supplemented
Containing the Tale of Psyche and Eros
The Metamorphoses of Apuleius, which Augustine of Hippo referred to as “The Golden Ass” (asinus aureus), is the only ancient Roman novel in Latin to survive in its entirety.
Transformed by mistaken magic into an ass, the young Apuleius recounts his bizarre journey to restoration of his human being and his ultimate salvation by the Mother Goddess Isis. Retold from the original Latin (circa 150 CE), The tale is reinvented for contemporary tastes but keeps the picaresque whimsy and risqué allure of this classic ancient Roman novel. Annotated carefully for readers unfamiliar with ancient allusions and mythology.. Supplemental text includes background to explain Hellenistic religions and civilization.
