Twisted Tales: "Metamorphoses" by Lucius Apuleius Madaurensis

A collection of stories that have been reimagined and retold.

"Metamorphoses" by Lucius Apuleius Madaurensis

In this timeless tale of two mortal princesses- one beautiful and one unattractive- C.S. Lewis reworks the classical myth of Cupid and Psyche into an enduring piece of contemporary fiction. This is the story of Orual, Psyche's embittered and ugly older sister, who posessively and harmfully loves Psyche. Much to Orual's frustration, Psyche is loved by Cupid, the god of love himself, setting the troubled Orual on a path of moral development.
