Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an ancient Greek text describing the wild and strange adventures of a young man called Lucius. His escapades take place in the Roman province of Thessaly, renowned for its beautiful women and tales of witchcraft. During a visit there, Lucius is transformed into a donkey by a magical ointment, and his efforts to return to human form lead him into a series of magical, erotic entanglements with nymphs, bandits, and priests of various cults. Throughout his journey, he encounters an underworld of Roman beliefs, Greek legends, and local traditions. However, despite its fantastical plot, the text also touches on serious themes of human nature, identity, and the moral choices people make in extreme situations. This entertaining and thought-provoking work provides a fascinating glimpse into the mind of the ancient world and offers a unique perspective on the boundaries of human experience.
