Apuleius (reference article)

Wikipedia's article on Apuleius, the second century Roman author of Metamorphoses, is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication. It is reliable for standard biographical facts such as his North African origin and his known works, and less reliable for evaluating scholarly debate over how much of his novel reflects his own genuine religious experience of Isiac initiation versus literary invention. Use it for basic biography; a claim about the novel's relationship to real religious practice needs a dedicated classical scholarship source.
