Abstract

Images and vocabulary derived from historiography abound in Apuleius’ novel, especially in the episode of Lucius and the greengrocer (9.32-38): their relevance shows that the author’s scope goes far beyond  parody. Exact quotations are limited to Sallustius, with the aim of elevating the style.
