What is Golden Ass, Metamorphoses about?
The Metamorphoses of Apuleius, which Augustine of Hippo referred to as The Golden Ass (Asinus aureus),[1] is the only ancient Roman novel in Latin to survive in its entirety.[2] The protagonist of the novel is Lucius. At the end of the novel, he is revealed to be from Madaurus(city in Est of Algeria), the hometown of Apuleius himself. The plot revolves around the protagonist's curiosity (curiositas) and insatiable desire to see and practice magic.

He finally finds salvation through the intervention of the goddess Isis, whose cult he joins.
