Answer 2

It's a mythological tale - there is no "author". It's been handed down generation after generation! I'm sure if you googled it tho...

Answer 3

J V of course is talking about the novel The Golden *** by Apuleius

It's in the Project Gutenberg Library.

Here is another early modern English translation:

Answer 4

I dont know of an actual website but Apuleius wrote the story in Latin as part of a longer novel and if your nearest library has the Loeb edition you can read the English translation. Robert Graves also did a translation and there are probably older translations you can find on Project Gutenberg or one of the other online free e-text libraries.

If your local library doesnt have it ask if they are part of an interlibrary loan system and can get it in form another library?
