Abstract
Brings together hitherto unpublished papers which offer fresh light on fictional texts by comparison with type-indexed folklore material. Furthers investigation into ‘Cinderella’ elements in Longus’ Daphnis and Chloe, and explains the chain of picaresque episodes in Petronius’ Satyrica as an ancient branch of the Fortunatus-legend. Reconstructs a Golden Ass complex where a literal gold-donkey was the unifying theme. The book’s main thrust is to encourage classicists to be aware, and cautiously respectful, of techniques of folktale analysis which have rarely been allowed to cross disciplinary boundaries.
