AN OVIDIAN TECHNIQUE IN APULEIUS’ CUPID AND PSYCHE ORACLE (MET. 4.33.1)

abstract This note argues that the second line of the oracle in Apuleius’ Cupid and Psyche ( Met . 4.33.1) alludes to Ovid’s Am. 1.1.2. Like its Ovidian model, Apuleius’ line marks a shift in genre, and offers a further hint of the role Cupid will play in the rest of the story.
