The variety of responses to magic is unveiled in the narrative as the protagonist Lucius encounters an assortment of characters, either in embedded tales or in the main plot. A contextualized approach illuminates Lucius' relatively good fortune when compared to other characters in the novel - this results from his involvement with the magic of a sorcerer's apprentice, rather than that of a real witch, and signals the possibility of eventual salvation. A careful investigation of Lucius' attitude towards Isis in book 11 and his relationship with the witch-slave girl Photis earlier on suggests that the novel's final book may be read as a second "Metamorphoses", consciously rewritten from a positive perspective. Last but not least, the book also breaks new ground by examining the narrative structure of the Metamorphoses against the background of the typical plotline found in the ideal romance. The comparison shows how Apuleius both follows and alters this plot, exploiting the genre to his own specific ends, in keeping with his central theme of metamorphosis. 410 0$aTrends in classics.$pSupplementary volumes ;$vv. 2. 606 $aMagic in literature 606 $aWitches in literature 610 $aAncient Magic. 610 $aAncient Novel. 610 $aGenre. 610 $aIsis. 610 $aNarrative. 615 0$aMagic in literature. 615 0$aWitches in literature. 676 $a873/.01 686 $aFX 243405$2rvk 700 $aFrangoulidis$b Stavros$0554285 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782790903321 996 $aWitches, Isis and narrative$92615958 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02043nas 2200409 n 450 001 990008933530403321 005 20240229084426.0 011 $a0007-5655 035 $a000893353 035 $aFED01000893353 035 $a(Aleph)000893353FED01 035 $a000893353 091 $2CNR$aP 00002185 100 $a20090724b19691983km-y0itaa50------ba 101 0 $afre 102 $aFR 110 $aauu-------- 200 1 $aBulletin signalétique.
