Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Metamorphoses or Golden Ass of Apuleius of Madaura, Vol. 2 As soon as darkness was dispelled and dawn grew white in the sky, and the sun´s glowing car began to give light to all things, there arrived one whom the fashion of the greetings interchanged showed to be a member of the robber-band. He sat down at the very entrance of the cave and, on recovering his breath, delivered the following message to his comrades: - ´As far as concerns the house of Milo at Hypata, which we recently plundered, we may dismiss our fears and be at our ease. For after your valiant hands had carried off all the spoil and you had returned to our camp, I mingled with the crowd of citizens and, assuming an air of grief and indignation, watched to see what decision they would make as to the investigation of the crime, and to discover whether it was decided to search for the robbers and, if so, how far the search would be pressed; for I proposed to report everything to you as you had charged me. I fell in with the universal voice of public opinion which, relying on no mere vague suspicions, but on the strongest probability, accused a certain Lucius as being the undoubted author of the crime. For but a few days previously he had presented himself to Milo with forged letters of recommendation and, pretending that he was a man of the highest character, had insinuated himself into Milo´s friendship.
