This reminds me that I had once thought that if I got nothing else out of the Lit Hum syllabus, at least it ought to be good for a mix tape.

Indeed, I read The Golden Ass in Lit Hum -- I did a presentation on it -- though I don't remember it being assigned to anyone not in my actual class.

I went through this whole Milesian Tales phase because of it.
