  • Metamorphosis or The Golden Ass-Lucius Apuleius
    Nov 7 2026
    Metamorphosis or The Golden Ass by Lucius Apuleius.

    The Metamorphosis, also known as The Golden Ass, is one of the very few novels of the Ancient World that survived to our days; one of the two novels of Roman Literature that we can still read; and the only one preserved in its entirety (the other one being the extremely fragmentary Satyricon). The story of the Metamorphosis, the tale of a man turned into a donkey that goes through many adventures to become a man again, inspired many other similar ones later on. However, more than just the plot, the style of the Golden Ass also made it famous.

    Featured on Metamorphoses.
