The Golden Ass (160-80 AD) by Apuleius

S2E12 The Golden Ass is the only surviving complete Latin novel from the Classical period. Also known as The Metamorphoses, it straddles more than one running theme on Ear Read This, as well as being filthy, funny and full of history. Grab your toga and get your ass over here. Time for a Roman literary feast.  @earreadthis earreadthis@gmail.com facebook.com/earreadthis Music: "Not Drunk" by the Joy Drops, "Temple of the Manes" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
