The Golden Asse, or The Metamorphoses by Apuleius holds a unique place in world literature as the only complete Latin novel to survive from antiquity. Over the course of eleven books, Apuleius recounts the strange adventures of a young man named Lucius. The story unfolds from Lucius' perspective and begins with his travels to Thessaly, a region reputed to be full of witches, magic, and the supernatural.
