    http://www.forumromanum.org/literature/apuleius_bio.html
    
    Extractions: Poet, philosopher, and rhetorician born of prosperous parents at Madaurus (present M'Daourouch) in Africa Proconsularis. Apuleius claimed to have travelled extensively as a young man, and was educated in Carthage, Greece, and Rome. Brought as a child to Athens to learn Greek, he earned the right to call himself a philosophus Platonicus . He disliked studying in Rome, because the city was large and confusing and because he had no regular schoolmasters. Probably in the winter of 156, he arrived at Oea (Tripoli) while on his way to Alexandria. There, as related in his Apologia , Apuleius met Pontianus, an ex-pupil from Athens, who influenced him to stay at his home for a year. Pontianus later persuaded Apuleius to marry his mother Pudentilla in order to keep her fortune in his family. Pudentilla's relatives did not want Apuleius to inherit her money, however, so they accused Apuleius of using magic to seduce his wife. They also might have implied that he murdered Pontianus, who had died mysteriously soon after the marriage. In 158, Apuleius stood trial before the Roman provincial court at Sabratha, where he delivered his own defense speech. Since this Apologia was later published, it can be assumed that Apuleius was acquitted.

    Extractions: Ptolemaic Dynasty Apuleius was a novelist who describes, in his story The Golden Ass , how his hero, Lucius, was redeemed through the initiation into the mysteries of Isis. This is an example of Egyptian religion making an impact on Greek society. These cults of Egyptian gods gained widespread interest outside of Egypt.

    Extractions: This Apuleian bibliography has grown during several years of study. Recently, I have completed my list with the scrutiny of the volumes of the from 1971 to 1992, at the moment the latest available. More recent information was obtained in various ways, between which I mention here the TOCS-IN database and GNOMON Online ; a learned survey of previous years is available in C. C. Schlam The Scholarship on Apuleius Since 1938 , "The Classical World" 64.9 (1971), pp. 285-309. The bibliography is divided into a few chronological sections to limit file sizes; editions, translations and commentaries are collected in a separate file. Whenever possible, I added to each entry a short abstract , which I normally took from the . There is also a hierarchical (Dewey-like) classification system , which can sometimes be very useful in order to extract the requested information from the list easily and quickly. So, if you are looking for articles about Apuleius' influence and diffusion, you only have to search, with your browser or your word processor, for the string "#APUn"; if you are only interested in St. Augustine's reception of Apuleius, you have to search for "#APUna" instead. Obviously, this sistems has several limits. So, you'll have to rely on my ability to guess what an article is about from his title or from second-hand information (sure I haven't read all of the works listed here), and to type in the appropriate code without errors. Moreover, since I prepared this classification system according to my interests, you might find my choices questionable: e. g., there are a lot of sub-categories for the

18. Apuleius
    apuleius, along with Petronius, gives us our only notion of what the Roman NOVEL may have been like. apuleius and the Golden Ass.  
    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.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apuleius
    
    Extractions: Other languages: Deutsch Latina From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Lucius Apuleius ca 123/5 CE - ca 180 CE), an utterly Romanized Berber (who described himself as "half-Numidian half-Gaetulian"), is remembered most for his bawdy picaresque Latin novel the Metamorphoses , better known as The Golden Ass He was born in Madaurus , a Roman colony in Numidia on the border with Gaetulia , now the Algerian town of Mdaourouch, Algeria, a district well away from the Romanized coast, but where some pristine Roman ruins remain. The same colonia was where Saint Augustine later received part of his early education. His father was a provincial magistrate and he inherited a substantial fortune from him. Apuleius studied with a master at Carthage and later at Athens , where he studied Platonic philosophy among other subjects. After being initiated as a worshipper of Isis , he went to Rome to study Latin oratory. Later he travelled extensively in Asia Minor and Egypt , studying philosophy and religion After being accused of using magic to gain the attentions (and fortune) of a widow, he declaimed and then distributed a witty tour de force in his own defense before the proconsul and a court of magistrates convened in Sabratha, near Tripoli, the

    http://www.jnanam.net/golden-ass/
    
    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
