The Transformations of Lucius, also known as the Metamorphoses or The Golden Ass, is a picaresque novel that chronicles the trials and tribulations of the titular Lucius after he is magically transformed, by accident, into an ass (donkey). Lucius, originally a member of the Roman country aristocracy, is then forced into many situations ranging from the lamentable to the humorous to the obscene in which he often courts humiliation, death, or both. Over the course of his misadventures, Lucius sees and experiences first-hand the plight of slaves and the lower classes of Roman society. Interspersed among his story are separate tales including the Tale of Cupid and Psyche (also notable for being a rare instance of a fairy tale being presented in an ancient literary text). The Golden Ass is notable for being the only ancient Roman novel in Latin to have survived in its entirety. Signed by Author(s).
