"She is capable of bringing down the sky, suspending the earth, making springs dry up, sweeping away mountains, conjuring the spirits of the dead. She can weaken the gods, put out the stars, light up Hell itself. When a neighboring innkeeper would not return her love, she changed him into a frog. A lawyer who prosecuted her she turned into a ram."
-Aristomanes, speaking of Moroe, an old witch who owns an inn. From Metamorphoses, written by Apuleius (123 CE)
