Through a variety of approaches, including religious studies (ancient mystery cult), textual criticism, literary analysis, Greek philosophy, and archaeology, the volume sheds new light on important aspects of Book XI, such as the relation with Plutarch’s De Iside et Osiride ; aspects of Lucius’ multifarious physical self-presentation as an Isiac convert; aspects of style and language (wordplay), textual problems in relation to problems of interpretation; the role of Providence and Platonic philosophy, and numerous metaliterary and intertextual aspects.Latin fictionHistory and criticismIsis (Egyptian deity) in literatureElectronic books.Latin fictionHistory and criticism.Isis (Egyptian deity) in literature.873.01873/.01Keulen Wytse Hette875610Egelhaaf-Gaiser Ulrike443096MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461827503321Aspects of Apuleius' Golden ass1963798UNINA
