When Apuleius describes the act of narrating in the Metamorphoses, he usually qualifies it by reference to epic literature. This is especially true for the old woman that narrates the tale of Cupid and Psyche. The paper provides a detailed analysis of the narrative frame of Cupid and Psyche (the introductory words of the old woman, and the final comments by Lucius-the-ass), as well as of the dream of Charite that originates it.

Abstract
When Apuleius describes the act of narrating in the Metamorphoses, he usually qualifies it by reference to epic literature. This is especially true for the old woman that narrates the tale of Cupid and Psyche. The paper provides a detailed analysis of the narrative frame of Cupid and Psyche (the introductory words of the old woman, and the final comments by Lucius-the-ass), as well as of the dream of Charite that originates it.
