Written towards the end of the second century AD, The Golden Ass tells the story of the many adventures of a young man whose fascination with witchcraft leads him to be transformed into a donkey. The bewitched Lucius passes from owner to owner - encountering a desperate gang of robbers and being forced to perform lewd 'human' tricks on stage - until the Goddess Isis finally breaks the spell and Lucius is initiated into her cult. Apuleius' enchanting story has inspired generations of writers such as Boccaccio, Shakespeare, Cervantes and Keats with its dazzling combination of allegory, satire, bawdiness and sheer exuberance, and remains the most continuously and accessibly amusing book to have survived from Classical antiquity.

He is beaten up and dragged to exhaustion. In the bandits' cave they bring in a young woman whom they'd kidnapped from a neighboring town for ransom. The old woman who tends them tells the girl the story of Cupid and Psyche.In this tale, Psyche is a beautiful mortal woman. She is isolated from her family when a prophecy says she will marry a winged monster. The wind Zephyr takes her from the top of a mountain into a valley and a splendid home, where her new husbands comes to her. It is Cupid, although he is invisible and does not reveal his true identity to her. He falls in love with her even though his mother Venus is deathly jealous of the girl's beauty, and Psyche falls in love with him too. He warns her of her cruel and evil sisters, but she is too curious and easily swayed that she disobeys his commands and eventually severs the ties between them. He leaves her and she despairs, and seeks revenge on her sisters. She then tries to find Cupid and eventually decides to go to Venus to grovel before her. Venus loathes the girl and gives her impossible tasks to perform. Psyche receives help for all the tasks, including Cupid on the last one, as he decides he still loves her. Finally Jupiter intervenes and says Venus must be okay with her son's wife. He makes Psyche a god, and she and Cupid have a daughter.
