The Golden Ass

Cupid and Psyche







QUE BONITA!!! (That's "what beautiful" in Spanish.)

(There is no real "moral of the story" in the Metamorphoses. But if you need one: 1) Shit happens and 2) Things change.)

Lucius changes into an Ass. New version of Mr. Ed. (Not really, but sort of.)
-Transformations or "Metamorphoses" of Lucius.

THE ONLY MORAL OF THE STORY IS THE STORY!
-Experience the story by reading the story itself.
~Same as in the Golden Ass...life isn't a picnic for an Ass.

*Black Swan Green


Hyrosgomos - sacred marriage
*Romeo and Juliet and Braveheart

To change back to human he must eat roses...and more, but in a nut shell! *Frame
~Fairytale=degenerate myth.
The best aphrodisiac is storytelling.
