William Adlington made the first translation into English of Apuleius's "Metamorphoses" in 1566, under the title "". Adlington seems not to have been interested in a Neoplatonic reading, but his translation consistently suppresses the sensuality of the original. Thomas Taylor published an influential translation of "Cupid and Psyche" in 1795, several years before his complete "Metamorphoses". A translation by Robert Graves appeared in 1951 as "The Transformations of Lucius Otherwise Known as THE GOLDEN ASS, A New Translation by Robert Graves from Apuleius", published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux, New York.
