‘Apuleius’ “Metamorphoses (The Golden Ass)” has a hero who has been changed into an ass. After strange adventures he is restored to human shape by the goddess Isis. Many passages, notably the story of Cupid and Psyche, have a beauty [sic] that culminates in the apparition of Isis and the initiation of the hero into her mysteries.’
