Apuleius: THE GOLDEN ASS
LAT 254
Fall 2010 not offered
|
Fast-paced, magical, sexy, and bizarre, APULEIUS: GOLDEN ASS, or METAMORPHOSES, contains more than enough rowdy episodes to keep us entertained for a semester. The novel tells the story of the feckless Lucius, the man-turned-ass whose encounters with the residents of Thessaly range from the vulgar to the weird to the sublime. Our goals, in addition to reading and understanding the Latin, include tracing prominent themes and becoming acquainted with recent relevant scholarship. |
