Search Ancient / Classical History Apuleius Lucius Apuleius was a philosopher and rhetorician tried for using magic to win an older, wealthy bride, but he's better known for his novel about the mysteries of Isis, the tale of Cupid and Psyche, and the semi-biographical misadventures of its hero, Lucius. He was born in about 124 in Madauros, Numidia, received his education in Carthage and Athens and then traveled around the Mediterranean learning about religious mystery rites. In 158 he delivered a speech recorded as Apologia Apuleii in the multicultural town of Sabratha, Tripolitania (modern Libya), as a defense against the charge of using magic to win a wealthy older bride, Pudentilla. Lucius, in Apologia , provides a glimpse into second century Roman law, the economic and social conditions of Roman North Africa, and the attitude towards magic.

Lucius Apuleius (c. 123 - c. 170 CE) 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.

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Apuleius Lucius Apuleius ca 123/5 CE - ca 180 CE), an utterly Romanized Berber, 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 Apologia (A Discourse on Magic) . His other works include On the God of Socrates

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.

Back to Ancient History Sourcebook Ancient History Sourcebook: Lucius Apuleius (c.155 CE): 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: Source: Lucius Apuleius: Metamophoses or The Golden Ass .
