  • Golden Legend (written by Jacopo da Varazze / Jacobus de Varagine [c. 1230 – July 13 or July 16, 1298]), a collection of the legendary lives of the greater saints of the medieval church that was one of the most popular religious works of the Middle Ages.


  • The Golden Ass by Roman-Egyptian author Lucius Apuleius tells of a young girl named Psyche who was given in marriage to Cupid, the god of love, and contemporary illustrations often showed Psyche with the wings of a butterfly ('psyche0 meaning also 'moth' in Greek)
