The Golden Ass

by

Apuleius

Thrasyllus is a rich but rough-mannered young man who was one of Charite’s suitors before she got engaged to Tlepolemus. Thrasyllus still holds a grudge, however, and he conspires to kill Tlepolemus when it will look like a hunting accident. Charite, however, finds out that Thrasyllus murdered Tlepolemus after she’s visited by the latter’s ghost. She stabs Thrasyllus’s eyes out while he’s sleeping, then kills herself on Tlepolemus’s sword.
