The paper explores how Phaedrus and Apuleius present themselves to their audience. They both adopt a complex stance, balancing self-irony with a conscious assertion of their moral, philosophical, and/or literary authority. This appears to be an important feature of seriocomic literature (primarily satire), and an element of differentiation between the Greek and Roman narrative tradition.

Abstract
The paper explores how Phaedrus and Apuleius present themselves to their audience. They both adopt a complex stance, balancing self-irony with a conscious assertion of their moral, philosophical, and/or literary authority. This appears to be an important feature of seriocomic literature (primarily satire), and an element of differentiation between the Greek and Roman narrative tradition.
