Abstract

The purpose of this article is to bring to light the hidden resemblance between the three characters (Milo, the miller, and Mithras) who are the “guardians” of Lucius, the protagonist in Apuleius’ Metamorphoses. Although their similarities were designed to be easily detected, the contrary is true. The constant action and changes in scenery do not allow them to be easily perceived. The more sophisticated similarity can be discovered, if the reader translates a specific word of the Latin passage successfully into Greek by understanding that the narrator of the work is bilingual, and his native language is Greek.
