Lucian of Samosata was a Greek-educated Syrian rhetorician, and satirist who wrote in the Greek language. He is noted for his witty and scoffing nature.
I forget how primal the human condition is at times. 1800 years later and little has changed about what excites us, intrigues us or makes us read on in faux-disgust.

This is a much shorter and much less interesting telling of the story of "The Golden Ass" by Apuleius. Apuleius's book is a literary masterpiece; this one is really mediocre.
Livro muito escandaloso. Mesmo para os nossos dias. Ou, se calhar, ainda mais nos nossos dias. Mas que dá muito prazer na leitura pelo seu conteúdo divertido.
The Greeks never cease to amaze me! This was a short, fun story that was highly entertaining. It is easy to read and it is a funny way to start reading Ancient Greek Popular Literature.
