   Extractions: Jump to: navigation search Sketch of Apuleius Lucius Apuleius Platonicus (c. AD -c. AD ), an utterly Romanized Berber who described himself as "half- Numidian half- Gaetulian ", is remembered most for his bawdy picaresque Latin novel the Metamorphoses , otherwise known as The Golden Ass or, in Latin, the Aureus Asinus (where the Latin word aureus - golden - connoted an element of blessed luckiness). He was born in Madaurus (now M'Daourouch Algeria ), a Roman colony in Numidia on the North African coast, bordering Gaetulia. This is the same colonia where Saint Augustine later received part of his early education, and, though located well away from the Romanized coast, is today the site of some pristine Roman ruins. Details regarding his life come mostly from his defense speech (see below) and a work entitled "Florida," which consists of snippets taken from some of his best speeches.

   Extractions: The Golden Ass , also known by the alternative title, The Metamorphoses , is one of the greatest fantasies of the world . The latter name, The Metamorphoses , is found in the extant manuscripts, but Augustine, who studied some two centuries later at Madauros (as well as at Carthage), says that Apuleius called his work Asinus aureus or The Golden Ass, which name I shall use hereafter (the word 'golden' in this context denotes "a quality of excellence and admirability" rather than "the sense of being fashioned from gold"). Apuleius informs us that he is adapting a Greek story. This is supposed by many scholars to have been a story possibly by the Greek author Lucius of Patrae. This text is now lost, though Lucios or the Ass ) thought to be an abridgement of Lucius of Patrae's tale by Lucian, a Greek satirist and near-contemporary of Apuleius, still exists. However, the splendour of the

   http://community.middlebury.edu/~harris/LatinAuthors/Apuleius.html
   
   Extractions: APULEIUS and the Golden Ass Lucius Apuleius lived and wrote in Latin in Romanized North Africa around the middle of the 2 nd c. A.D. He was well versed in the popular Greek writing of the time, and shows in all his prose a strong interest in the supernatural, in Eastern religions, and in magic. In fact he was accused of casting spells on his wife by her family, and defended himself in the legal defense, or Apologia which we have. His interest in Greek philosophy led to the writing of a book of philosophical extracts, the Florida , an essay on Plato, another on Socrates' theology, and a translation from a spurious work of Aristotle De Mundo. But he is known mainly for his Metamorphoses , a prose romantic novel in eleven books which we have complete, written in an flowery but engaging and quite readable style modeled on the Greek Romances. However his vocabulary is large and the reader will often find his nose in the dictionary. The most famous of the many encapsulated stories is the long account of Cupid and Psyche, which is amazingly close to the Germanic Cinderella tale. The Metamorphoses often referred to as The Golden Ass, is written in a Grecizing style, with fairly involved syntax, couched in a large vocabulary. These things make Apuleius slightly difficult reading, but the engaging storytelling and natural flow of ideas leads the student on easily. Since the Renaissance the book has had a wide following, however it has never become a basic part of the modern Classical canon of authors, perhaps because of the novelistic form, the popular interests, including magic, and the post-Classical style of writing. This is unfortunate, since the Metamorphoses offers fascinating reading material for intermediate students who are developing their reading skills. There is a good Loeb edition from Harvard U Pr.,, the most readily accessible editions for general use, although without app. crit. or notes.

    Extractions: Isis, Queen of Heaven The cult of Isis was one of the most important of the empire wide cults in the later empire, and perhaps its greatest monument is in Lucius Apuleius very strange novel, The Golden Ass. Here Isis appears to Lucius, and claims to be all goddesses. We see here the workings of an intense religious syncretism. Isis is here the Queen of Heaven, and principal of all the gods and goddesses. When I had ended this prayer, and made known my needs to the Goddess, I fell asleep, and by and by appeared unto me a divine and venerable face, worshipped even by the Gods themselves. Then by little and little I seemed to see the whole figure of her body, mounting out of the sea and standing before me, and so I shall describe her divine appearance, if the poverty of my human speech will allow me, or her divine power give me eloquence to do so. Thus the divine shape breathing out the pleasant spice of fertile Arabia, disdained not with her divine voice to utter these words unto me:

    Extractions: pages 8-13. Lucius Apuleius is known as the author of several prose masterpieces written in Latin. Apuleius of Madaurus wrote in the language of the Roman conquerors of North Africa. However, Apuleius was not a Roman. He was a native of North Africa and proud of it. Little has been made of his "Berber" origins, and the fact that he was not Roman by birth. Apuleius was strictly a citizen of Rome due to the fact that his ancestral land was then a Roman colony, and Roman citizenship had been granted to the inhabitants of the colony of Madauros. Apuleius is best remembered for his brilliant novel, the Metamorphoses, also known as The Golden Ass. He is the author of Florida and of three philosophical treatises, entitled De Plato De Socrates , and De Mundi . In addition, a great deal of recent scholarship has paid close attention to another of his works, Apologia Defense ,) a unique document in the Latin classics. It is a piece of linguistic virtuosity, thought to have been orally delivered by Apuleius in his own defense in front of pro-consul Claudius Maximus and a court of Roman magistrates convened in Sabratha, a North African city not far from Tripoli. He stood accused of sorcery, an offense punishable by death under Roman law enacted in the first century.

Eros did not want his mum to know he had taken a wife (lover?) so he sneaked her into his home, and only came at night, when it was dark, to make love to her, then sneaking out again before it was light - so she never got to see what he looked like (or got to know him very well, presumably)."

    http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/L044.html
    
    Extractions: In the Metamorphoses of Apuleius, also known as The Golden Ass, we have the only Latin novel which survives entire. It is truly enchanting: a delightful romance combining realism and magic. The hero, Lucius, eager to experience the sensations of a bird, resorts to witchcraft but by an unfortunate pharmaceutical error finds himself transformed into an ass. He knows he can revert to his own body by eating rose-petals, but these prove singularly elusive; and the bulk of the work describes his adventures as an animal. He also retails many stories that he overheard, the most charming being that of Cupid and Psyche (beginning, in true fairy-tale fashion, ' Erant in quadam civitate rex et regina '). Some of the stories are as indecent as they are witty, and two in the ninth book were deemed by Boccaccio worthy of inclusion in the Decameron. At last the goddess Isis takes pity on Lucius. In a surprising denouement, he is restored to human shape and, now spiritually regenerated, is initiated into her mysteries. The author's baroque Latin style nicely matches his fantastic narrative and is guaranteed to hold a reader's attention from beginning to end. J. Arthur Hanson was at the time of his death in 1985 Giger Professor of Latin at Princeton University. His publications include
