is: Apuleius

The wineskins episode near the end of the interpolated tale " The Curious Impertinent " in chapter 35 of the first part of Don Quixote is a clear reference to Apuleius, and recent scholarship suggests that the moral philosophy and the basic trajectory of Apuleius's novel are fundamental to Cervantes's program.

This is a section from The Golden Ass by Apuleius, depicting a religious theatrical reenactment of Paris ' Judgement:

* Asino d ' oro ( 1517 ) — The Golden Ass is a terza rima poem, a new version of the classic work by Apuleius.

Chapter 7 is at the origin of the square of opposition ( or logical square elaborated by Apuleius to be replaced, according to some scholars, by the logical hexagon of Robert Blanché presented in Structures intellectuelles ( Vrin 1966 ).

It is one of the two most extensive witnesses to the Roman novel, the only other being fully extant Metamorphoses of Apuleius, which is quite different in style and plot.

His first love, the subject of book i., is called Delia in the poems, but we learn from Apuleius ( Apol.

The Ass () is probably a summarized version of a story by Lucian and contains largely the same basic plot elements as The Golden Ass ( or Metamorphoses ) of Apuleius, but with fewer digressions and a different ending.

They also appear in Pliny the Elder's Natural History, together with Moses, as famous magicians of antiquity ; Pliny's citation is also referred to in Apuleius.

It is a retelling of the Greek myth of Cupid and Psyche, which had haunted Lewis all his life, and which is itself based on a chapter of The Golden Ass of Apuleius.

His only surviving work is the De compendiosa doctrina, a dictionary or encyclopedia in 20 books that shows his interests in antiquarianism and Latin literature from Plautus to Apuleius.

* The Golden Ass by Lucius Apuleius, written in the 2nd century AD, is a classic satire of life in the Roman Empire

The 2nd century Roman writer and philosopher Apuleius in his Apologia XV says " What is the cause of the prismatic colours of the rainbow, or of the appearance in heaven of two rival images of the sun, with sundry other phenomena treated in a monumental volume by Archimedes of Syracuse.

This satiric tendency continued in Die Klatshe ( The nag, 1873 ) about a prince, a stand-in for the Jewish people, who is bewitched and becomes a much put-upon beast of burden, but maintains his moral superiority throughout his sufferings ( a theme evidently influenced by the Apuleius ' classical picaresque novel The Golden Ass ).

In Apuleius ' Golden Ass, the form is combined with the comic novel.

It is towards these daemones that we direct purifications and apotropaic rites, all kinds of divination, the art of reading chance utterances, and so on ’… This account differs from that of the early Academy in reaching back to the other, Archaic, view of daemones as souls, and thus anticipates the views of Plutarch and Apuleius in the Principate … It clearly implies that daemones can cause illness to livestock: this traditional dominated view has now reached the intellectuals ”.

The age in which he lived ( c. 100 AD ) is only known because he mentions Thrasyllus in his Manual of Harmonics, and because his Introduction to Arithmetic was apparently translated into Latin in the mid 2nd century by Apuleius.

Cupid and Psyche (, ), also known as The Tale of Amour and Psyche and The Tale of Eros and Psyche, is a myth that first appeared as a digressionary story told by an old woman in Lucius Apuleius ' novel, The Golden Ass, written in the 2nd century AD.

Apuleius identifies her as a woman named Hostia, and Propertius suggests she is a descendent of the Roman poet Hostius.

Most important among the many discoveries was over a hundred panels in glass opus sectile found in their original packing crates and awaiting installation in a possible sanctuary of Isis whose great annual festival is the scene of the climax of Apuleius ' novel " Metamorphosis " which tells the story of a man turned into a donkey and back again ( thanks to the intervention of the goddess ).

In the Golden Ass, the narrator ( assumed to be Apuleius as the story is told in the first person ) is transformed into a donkey through his misguided experiments with sorcery.

After reading the work and realizing that the myth was established during the twilight of Roman mythology, Keats wrote to George: " You must recollect that Psyche was not embodied as a goddess before the time of Apuleius the Platonist who lived after the Augustan age, and consequently the Goddess was never worshipped or sacrificed to with any of the ancient fervour — and perhaps never thought of in the old religion — I am more orthodox than to let a heathen Goddess be so neglected.

According to Cassiodorus, he was a native of Madaura — which had been the native city of Apuleius — in the Roman province of Africa ( now Souk Ahras, Algeria ), and he appears to have practiced as a jurist at Carthage.

The Golden Ass, a second century Latin novel by the North African, Lucius Apuleius, predates Theophilus's story and may have been a partial inspiration for it.

Works like Lysistrata by Aristophanes, Menaechmi by Plautus, Cena Trimalchionis by Petronius, and The Golden Ass of Apuleius are ribald classics from ancient Europe.

The subject of the painting stems from the story of Cupid and Psyche told by Lucius Apuleius in The Golden Ass ( 2nd century ).

The trick serves to demonstrate their powers ( Virgil Eclogues 8. 69 ), to perform a love spell ( Suetonius Tiberius 1. 8. 21 ) or to extract a magical juice from the moon ( Apuleius Metamorphoses 1. 3. 1 ).

This long poem, resembling a mock epic, was a reworking of La Fontaine's Psyche, a subject originating from Apuleius but ingeniously stylized by Bogdanovich as a Russian folk tale.

The 2nd century writer Apuleius claimed that Catullus gave his lover Clodia the pseudonym Lesbia ; Wiseman traces Apuleius ’ s source for this claim to the historian Suetonius, and Suetonius ’ sources to C. Julius Hyginus ’ s De Vita Rebusque Illustrium Virorum.

The most famous work of the period was Metamorphoses, also called The Golden Ass, by Apuleius.

This work has more polished parallels in the better-known Metamorphoses of Ovid and in the Metamorphoses of Lucius Apuleius.

* the Großer Palais built in 1806 / 09 by Severin, contains a special treasure in the oval garden hall: a painted ceiling and wallpaper depicting the Amor and Psyche legend of the Apuleius ( based on designs by Lois Lafitte and Mary Blonder printed in 1820 in Paris ).

He continued studying Greek, and an article that he wrote on Apuleius was published in the third issue of The Liberal in 1822.

He also wrote commentaries on St. Paul's Epistle to Philemon, and on the Apologia of Lucius Apuleius as well as a translation into Latin of and Annotazioni ( in Italian ) on Torquato Tasso's epic Gerusalemme liberata.

Apuleius records that " when pious travelers happen to pass by a sacred grove ( lucus ) or a cult place on their way, they are used to make a vow ( votum ), or a fruit offering, or to sit down for a while.

The really beautiful poems of Petronius and Apuleius are more properly inserted in the collected editions of their writings, and more than half the remainder consists of the frigid conceits of pedantic professional exercises of grammarians of a very late period of the empire, relieved by an occasional gem, such as the apostrophe of the dying Hadrian to his spirit, or the epithalamium of Gallienus.

According to the ancient Greek poets Apuleius and Collothus, only Aphrodite undressed ( and in the case of Collothus, she merely " bares her breast ").

Aphrodite figures as a secondary character in the Tale of Eros and Psyche, which first appeared as a digressive story told by an old woman in Lucius Apuleius ' novel, The Golden Ass, written in the second century AD.

In Book XI of " The Golden Ass " by Apuleius, we find evidence that the worship of this god was maintained in Rome at least up to the 2nd century.

Both The Golden Ass by Apuleius and Metamorphoses by Ovid extend the depths of framing to several degrees.

The poet Catullus wrote several love poems concerning a frequently unfaithful woman he called Lesbia, identified in the mid-second century AD by the writer Apuleius ( Apologia 10 ) as a " Clodia.

Latin manuscripts of De Materia Medica were combined with a Latin herbal by Apuleius Platonicus ( Herbarium Apuleii Platonici ) and were incorporated into the Anglo-Saxon codex Cotton Vitellius C. III.

These were followed, in Italy, by the Herbarium of Apuleius Platonicus and three German works published in Mainz, the Latin Herbarius ( 1484 ), the first herbal published in Germany, German Herbarius ( 1485 ), the latter evolving into the Ortus Sanitatis ( 1491 ).
