Lucius Apuleius From LoveToKnow 1911 LUCIUS APULEIUS, Platonic philosopher and rhetorician, was born at Madaura in Numidia about A.D. 125. As the son of one of the principal officials, he received an excellent education, first at Carthage and subsequently at Athens . After leaving Athens he undertook a long course of travel, especially in the East, principally with the view of obtaining initiation into religious mysteries. Having practised for some time as an advocate at Rome , he returned to Africa . On a journey to Alexandria he fell sick at Oea (Tripoli), where he made the acquaintance of a rich widow, Aemilia Pudentilla, whom he subsequently married. The members of her family disapproved of the marriage, and indicted Apuleius on a charge of having gained her affections by magical arts. He easily established his innocence, and his spirited, highly entertaining, but inordinately long defence ( Apologia or De Magia ) before the proconsul Claudius Maximus is our principal authority for his biography. From allusions in his subsequent writings, and the mention of him by St Augustine , we gather that the remainder of his prosperous life was devoted to literature and philosophy . At Carthage he was elected provincial priest of the imperial cult, in which capacity he occupied a prominent position in the provincial council, had the duty of collecting and managing the funds for the temples of the cult, and the superintendence of the games in the

MythNET Gods Game Feedback ... Theocritus Hesiod Hesiod, a poor farmer, was believed to have written in the ninth, sometimes eighth century. Hesiod was the author of several significant poems, the most meaningful being the Iliad Odyssey , and Theogony . Hesiod was believed to have been the first man in Greece to wonder how everything had happened, the world, the sky, the gods, mankind, and to think out an explanation. The Theogony is an account of the creation of the universe and the generations of gods, and this has been proven to be very useful in increasing our knowledge about Greek mythology. Aeschylus Aeschylus was the oldest of the three tragic poets, the other two being Sophocles and Euripides. Except for Aeschylus' Persians , written to celebrate the Greeks victory over the Persians, all of his plays contain mythological subjects. Along with Homer , these works provide the main foundation of our knowledge of Greek mythology. Apuleius Apuleius, a Latin writer, was believed to have written in the second century AD.

Apuleius of Madauros Extended Version Bruce J. MacLennan Biography Prosecution for Magic When Apuleius had completed his stay in Athens, about 156 CE, and was on his way to visit Alexandria, he was introduced to Pudentilla, a wealthy widow somewhat older than himself, and they married. Some of her relatives, who were probably afraid of losing control of her money, brought a charge of sorcery against Apuleius, alleging that he had seduced Pudentilla by magic. This was a serious charge, for sorcery was punishable by death. Apparently he was acquitted, and his Defense Apologia ) is a valuable source of information about ancient magical practices for, ironically, in the process of his defense he displays considerable knowledge of magic. (Indeed, Defense is a comparatively recent title; all the manuscripts call it some variant of On Magic .) His says that he is a philosopher, and that philosophers and magicians engage in superficially similar practices (e.g. collecting plants and animals), but for different purposes. He ridicules his accusers for their ignorance of philosophy and for their impious confusion of religious ritual with magic. Overall, it is a masterful rhetorical display (perhaps thanks to some rewriting after the trial). He was acquitted, but was he guilty? As his

Book Search: Keywords Author Title or ISBN More Options Power Search Search Hints Google contents of this website: Google full text of our books: The Fortunes of Apuleius and the Golden Ass: A Study in Transmission and Reception Julia Haig Gaisser Shopping Cart Endorsements Table of Contents Chapter 1 [HTML] or [PDF format] This book traces the transmission and reception of one of the most influential novels in Western literature. The Golden Ass , the only ancient Roman novel to survive in its entirety, tells of a young man changed into an ass by magic and his bawdy adventures and narrow escapes before the goddess Isis changes him back again. Its centerpiece is the famous story of Cupid and Psyche. Julia Gaisser follows Apuleius' racy tale from antiquity through the sixteenth century, tracing its journey from roll to codex in fourth-century Rome, into the medieval library of Monte Cassino, into the hands of Italian humanists, into print, and, finally, over the Alps and into translation in Spanish, French, German, and English. She demonstrates that the novel's reception was linked with Apuleius' reputation as a philosopher and the persona he projected in his works. She relates Apuleius and the Golden Ass to a diverse cast of important literary and historical figuresincluding Augustine, Fulgentius, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Bessarion, Boiardo, and Beroaldo. Paying equal attention to the novel's transmission (how it survived) and its reception (how it was interpreted), she places the work in its many different historical contexts, examining its representation in art, literary imitation, allegory, scholarly commentary, and translation. The volume contains several appendixes, including an annotated list of the manuscripts of the Golden Ass.

Fairytales Apuleius, Golden Ass Apuleius, Golden Ass Mary C. Legg Articles in this Topic Discussions in this Topic Apr 18, 2004 Apuleius (124-170CE) is best known for his Metamorphoses, better known as The Golden Ass. The name is borrowed off Ovid's work, but is not nearly the same, although it presents a series of tales that are related through Lucius in a Chinese box structure. Apuleius was from Mdaurus, a Roman colony in Numidia, where from St Augustine also originated. He studied Platonic philosophy in Athens and wrote three discourses on Plato, two exist: De platonis et eus dogmato/ On Plato and his teaching; De Deo Socratis/On the God of Socrates. He also went off to Egypt and entered into the cult of Isis, nearly 400 years after the Isis cult had disappeared which appears in Plutarch's writings. He distinguishes between the left-hand destructive magic which Robert Graves associates to the Triple Goddess as Hecate and the right-hand magic of Isis which has productive powers within the story of the Golden Ass. Frequently, the book has been seen as autobiographical, so much so, tht Apuleius was given the name he bestowed the ass, Lucius. Lucius is a poet, who in seeking for enlightenment through the mysteries of sorcery inadvertantly gets transformed into an ass. Curiously enough, the ass is a beast repellent to Isis as it symbolizes Python who ambushed and killed Osiris her brother-husband. The structure of the book is of Chinese-box pattern with a story embedded within a story: the most famous of these is Cupid and Psyche, frequently interpreted as a platonic allegory. However, the entire work can be seen as an allegory of human suffering and transfomation into a higher being. There are scholarly comparisons between the work and eastern literature as Apuleius, himself, refers to it as Milesian tales. There are strong parallels between the eastern influence flowing in from India and the Isis cult.

In Search of Cupid and Psyche: Myth and Legend in Children's Literature Apuleius: Questions 1 Weeks 1-3 The primary text for this section of the course is the "Cupid and Psyche" section of The Transformations of Lucius, Otherwise Known as The Golden Ass / a new translation by Robert Graves, from Apuleius, chapters 7,8 and 9. I have made this available as a web document (Apuleius.html); for easy reference, I have included the page numbers as they appear in the edition published by Farrar Straus, in 1951, eighth printing, 1972. These chapters have been published more recently as The Tale of Cupid and Psyche/ Lucius Apuleius; translated by Robert Graves. Boston: Shambhala, 1992. Glosses of the essential story (e.g., Bullfinch’s) are available as web documents on the internet, and are recommended reading. In The Golden Ass, , the tale of Cupid and Psyche is told by an old woman who recounts the story of "Cupid and Psyche" in order to quell the fears of a terrified kidnap victim; we are going to read "Cupid and Psyche" as though it were told directly by Apuleius. Let's remember, by effacing the context of the story, we are inevitably distorting it; however, "Cupid and Psyche" does seem to stand on its own, and our authority for reading it as such derives from precedent: it has been interpreted as a unitary work since the fifth century when Fulgentius analyzed it as an allegory about Christan ingenious Christian appropriation of a pagan tale that underscores for us its mythic power; in addition "Cupid and Psyche" has also been frequently published out of context, as a self-contained story

By Apuleius in Science Sat Jul 09, 2005 at 03:25:26 PM EST Tags: Science all tags In between shark attacks, missing persons, Michael Jackson, and who knows what else, you might have missed a few important stories. On the 4th of July, a power plant in Grati, on Indonesia's island of Java, was shut down after it just plain ran out of its stored fuel oil. Another power plant on the island is going to close next. This should not be all that surprising. Oil is now trading at $60 a barrel, and the first to suffer from this are those who can't cough up that kind of dough. But this is just the beginning. The price won't come back down, and soon enough you will begin to feel the pinch. Grab a cup of coffee and read on. The catch phrase "Peak Oil" refers to one predominant theory of what will happen as the world's oil supplies begin to dwindle. You can read more about it also on Wikipedia. Apart from the Deep Hot Biosphere types, we all know that there is a finite amount of rock oil under the earth, and that sooner or later it will run short or run out. The big questions are
