	Apuleius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Apuleius should not be confused with Lucius Appuleius Saturninus, a Roman demagogue.
		Apuleius studied with a master at Carthage and later at Athens, where he studied Platonic philosophy among other subjects.
		But Apuleius need not have been a worshiper of Isis to know the details he provides, and this work is more likely to belong to a sub-genre of stories involving rescue by Isis.

	The Tazzla Institute - Apuleius of Madaurus
		Apuleius of Madaurus wrote in the language of the Roman conquerors of North Africa.
		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 was born around 124 AD in Madauros, a Roman colony in the south of Numidia, which was situated in an area now located near modern Mdaourouch in Algeria, and he died some time after 180 AD in or around Carthage.

	APULEIUS - B. Slade
		Apuleius had spent most of his patrimony on his travels and studies or gifts to teachers and friends—and he was a philosopher—so he decided upon marrying the widow.
		However, Pudentilla was stubborn and persisted in her resolution to marry Apuleius, regardless of the protests of her son and his father-in-law.
		Apuleius seems to have been relatively unconcerned about the issue, and flung himself with great enthusiasm into the trial, which allowed him fantastic opportunities for showing off his wit, rhetoric and erudition.

		Furthermore, Apuleius' defense of the poems, negative as it is, involves a great number of Greek and Roman poets and philosophers, which produces the special effect of ranging Apuleius among them.
		Significantly, Apuleius does not even digress on the polished, urbane style of the poems, which are crammed with literary allusions, neologisms and archaic words.

	Encyclopedia: Apuleius
		The Metamorphoses of Lucius Apuleius, referred to as The Golden Ass (Asinus aureus) by Augustine, is the only Latin novel to survive in its entirety.
		He was born in Madaurus (now Mdaourouch, Algeria), a Roman colony in Numidia on the border with 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.

	THE GOLDEN ASS OF APULEIUS - B. Slade
		Apuleius celebrates the sensual aspects of life and his vivacious descriptions of erotic scenes illustrate his possession of the 'cavalier-poet' virtue of living life to the fullest, both the pleasurable and the painful.
		At the centre of Apuleius's interweaving of tales is that of 'Cupid and Psyche'.
		It is probable that Apuleius met with Christians and Christian-missionary texts whilst in Rome, one such apology by Marcianus Aristides is a nasty attack on Isiac religion (Isis-worship).

	Apuleius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		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 town of Mdaourouch, Algeria, a district well away from the Romanized coast, but where some pristine Roman ruins remain.
		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).

	Catamites (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Apuleius takes great care to note his disgust at being in their care; he is concerned not only about their sexuality and its violation of gender norms, but also as an extension of their perversion, is afraid that they might use him sexually, committing acts of bestiality.
		Apuleius also speaks derisively of the make up that the catamitic priests wear when they go out (8:27); such a feminine pursuit is at odds with what a typical Roman male should be concerned with.
		Lastly, Apuleius’ account of the catamite orgy with the young man and their subsequent exile from the town evidence his general disregard for the priests, which is inextricably tied to their gender violations and the power hierarchy that they challenge.

		Apuleius is thereby able to reroute his own writings from the prosecution's hoard of evidence into his own growing collection of counterproofs.
		Apuleius, as he did during the discussion of his poetry, refers with scorn to the manner in which his opponents both read and interpreted this letter.
		Apuleius deals with this text similarly to how he handles his poems in that he castigates his opponents for their horrible reading of the text.

		The Church Father's discussion of Apuleius must of course be considered in the context of the general aims of De Civitate Dei.
		Apuleius, for his part, who was a great lover of such arguments, might well have been amused by Augustine's reasoning.
		It is quite clear that according to Apuleius this highest species of daemones[38] functions as a 'conscience' and promotes the good; it must be honored with purity and justice, after the shining example of Socrates.

		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.
		Apuleius was a very sophisticated rhetorician and he toys with his reader.
		Apuleius was not an important philosophical innovator, but his philosophy is typical of the Platonism that was taught in his time.

		The chief strength of The Greek World of Apuleius is its provision of a broad and valuable overview of Apuleian background and intellectual milieu rather than the depth of its analyses of Apuleian texts; it is also conveniently accessible to the non-Latinate reader through its frequent translations.
		23 'was Apuleius an alumnus of the Platonic Academy in Athens?' seems not to confront the arguments of Glucker (though the reference is cited in the bibliography)[[4]] that the Academy was virtually non-functional in that period (cf.
		The sophistic connections of Apuleius' didactic streak and interest in improvisation are rightly stressed; in tune with Sandy's general approach, Apuleius' tendency to deviation and divergence from the point in hand is seen as part of imperial/rhetorical decline (p.

		Apuleius, who was educated at Carthage and Athens, traveled in the Mediterranean region and became interested in contemporary religious initiation rites, among them the ceremonies associated with worship of the Egyptian goddess Isis.
		It is particularly valuable for its description of the ancient religious mysteries, and Lucius' restoration from animal to human shape, with the aid of Isis, and his acceptance into her priesthood suggests that Apuleius himself had been initiated into that cult.
		Apuleius asserts that he wrote a number of poems and works on natural history, but these works are lost.

		Apuleius' use of allegory, his exceptional talent for imagery, and his rhythmic and often poetic prose, make this text a challenge and a joy to read at the same time.

		The fragment forms one long comparison: ‘Apuleius’ argues that it is his duty to deliver a speech, no less than he would have to call a halt to his journey on religious grounds when coming across a spot marked by devotional symbols.
		The interest of Apuleius in pagan religion is well attested,[12] and so the fragment may be said to be fully in accordance with the general image of Apuleius as it can be formed on the basis of his other works.
		Meanwhile, a closer reading of the whole piece shows that Apuleius is postponing his definite praise until the city has actually erected the statue for which a place has already been alotted, and perhaps he is even asking for a second statue.
