Immediately after he went to Rome, and studied there the Latine tongue, with such labour and continuall study, that he achieved to great eloquence, and was known and approved to be excellently learned, whereby he might worthily be called Polyhistor, that is to say, one that knoweth much or many things. And being thus no lesse endued with eloquence, than with singular learning, he wrote many books for them that should come after : whereof part by negligence of times be now intercepted and part now extant, doe sufficiently declare, with how much wisdome and doctrine hee flourished, and with how much vertue hee excelled amongst the rude and barbarous people.

His Metamorphoses, the only surviving novel in Latin, has provided a model stylistically, thematically, and structurally, for many of the great writers of Europe and America. Apuleius was born sometime around the year 124 in the city of Madaura (near modern Mdaourouch in Algeria) in the Roman province of Numidia, during the reign of Hadrian. He also lived during the reigns of emperors Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius. His father was a duumvir (a colonial official) of Madaura, and upon his death left Apuleius and his brother small fortunes. Apuleius admitted spending nearly all of his inheritance on his twin passions: travel and study. He was fluent in Greek and Latin and well versed in literature written in both languages. His early education was most likely acquired in Madaura. Apuleius continued his studies of literature, grammar, rhetoric, and philo.....

Apuleius, Lucius (125?-200?), Roman philosopher and writer. He was born in Madaurus, Numidia (now Algeria). His first publication, the Apologia, was an eloquent and successful vindication of his conduct during the time he was courting his future wife. After its publication, he devoted himself to literature and oratory. The novel Metamorphoses or The Golden Ass is his outstanding work. Often regarded as a satire on the vices of the age, it influenced the works of later writers such as Henry Fielding, Tobias Smollett, and Giovanni Boccaccio.

66. Lucius Apuleius: The Golden Ass Lucius Apuleius tale of a man transformed into an ass and his adventures in thatshape has long been popular as an amusing, slightly bawdy story. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Academy/6422/rev0952.html

The Golden Ass Lucius Apuleius Translated by Robert Graves Review date: 3/10/2001 Publisher: Penguin, 1950 Translation published: 1947 Lucius Apuleius' tale of a man transformed into an ass and his adventures in that shape has long been popular as an amusing, slightly bawdy story. Parts of it appear in the Decameron , and it is, I suspect, one of the inspirations behind the story of Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream Lucius is a young nobleman who travels to the Greek town of Hypata, well known for its witches. There, a mistaken application of a salve turns him into an ass, a shape which, he is told, will remain his until he eats some roses. Most of the novel is about his adventures in this form, retaining human intellect and tastes, until he is eventually rescued by the grace of the goddess Isis. (The word "golden" in the title, by the way, refers not to any event in the story, but to the value of the tale itself.) The question which arises on reading The Golden Ass is how it survived the Middle Ages. It frequently celebrates the ancient pagan religion, especially the mysteries of Isis of which Apuleius himself was a devotee; the author was thought to be a magician, actually standing trial for witchcraft, and the book to be a literal autobiography. Though the devotion to Isis was interpreted as a picture of devotion to the Virgin Mary, this was anachronistic and bears no relation to cults in the Christianity of Apuleius' time, which he may even directly attack (one of the wicked characters who mistreats Lucius as an ass is a hypocrite who disguises her evildoing in a cult of the "Only God"). The bawdy scenes and joking would also not be something of which the church would approve officialy, yet they are obviously the key to the work's survival; they make it a fun book for a monk to enjoy copying out, rather than something which would be a tedious duty.

His father, from whom he inherited a substantial fortune, was one of the two chief magistrates ( duouiri ) of the city. For his education Apuleius was sent first to Carthage, the capital of roman North Africa, and then to Athens. During his time abroad he traveled widely, spending some time in Rome, where he practiced as a pleader in the courts. While detained by illness on his way home at Oea in Tripoli, he met and married the wealthy widow Pudentilla. This was at the instance of one of her sons, whome he had known at Rome; but other members of her family objected and prosecuted Apuleius on various charges, principally that of winning Pudentilla's affections by magic. Their accuations were brilliantly and it would seem successfully rebutted by Apuleius in his Apology , delivered in or shortly before AD 160. He appears to have spent the rest of his life in Carthage, where he became a notable public figure, holding the chief priesthood of the province and honoured with a statue. His contemporary reputation rested on his neo-Platonic philosophical writings, of which the most important that survive are

English 240: Ancient Literature Questions on Apuleius' The Golden Ass ajdrake@ajdrake.com Home Syllabus Policies General Questions 1. Comment on the significance of desire—both in the physical and intellectual sense—as the driving force of the novel's events and the main reason for the complexity of the narrative: examine a few instances where desire clearly makes things happen and complicates the narrator's pattern of storytelling. 2. How might the story as a whole be described as a “spiritual quest”? What does Lucius' interest in magic have to do with it? How is his transformation into an ass related to the quest motif? 3. How do you understand the less serious side of Apuleius' text—the many comic, absurd, and even obscene incidents and characters its author seems to delight in serving up? How does all this silliness relate to the spiritual journey of Lucius? 4. In particular, what benefit does Apuleius derive from his device of making Lucius turn into an ass? What perspective does Lucius gain thereby? What does he lose? What does this trick of narrative have to offer us, the readers? 5. When, towards the end of the story, the goddess Isis grants Lucius his wish for transformation, why does she give him what he wants—what has he done to merit such good fortune?
