Abstract:

This thesis examines the role played by the genre of biography in exegetical modes of philosophical teaching. In a thematic reading of the unique literary corpus of the second century C.E. Platonist Apuleius, it considers how this author’s sustained project of philosophical popularisation is transmitted through biographical representations of the philosopher. Apuleius’ self-fashioned philosopher <i>persona,</i> his extended biography of Plato, and his exemplary treatment of the Platonic figure of Socrates, are each set to initiate his audience into philosophy as a way of life, while his rhetorical brand of Platonism conducts its philosophical mission via philosophy as a genre of life writing. Chapter One reads a key text from the collection of Apuleius’ excerpted Carthaginian orations (<i>Florida</i><i> </i>18) as presenting the developing portrait of the speaker’s philosopher <i>persona</i>, articulated through a series of stages. Between the limits of the speaker’s opening identification as a philosopher and the projected philosophical education of his Carthaginian audience, this text instigates an autobiographical discussion of pedagogic reciprocity, dramatically triangulated between the speaker’s educational debts to both Athens and Carthage, in a succession of biographical cameos starring renowned figures from the Greek philosophical tradition (Protagoras and Thales). Chapter Two shows how the mediating role for biography in the rhetorical construction of the philosopher <i>persona </i>explored in the previous chapter is central to Apuleius’ configurations of Plato in the <i>Vita</i> that prefaces his handbook of Platonism, <i>De Platone. </i>Reading the Platonic <i>Vita</i> as congruent with biographical sketches of a range of philosophical figures in the <i>Florida</i><i>,</i> this chapter explores how Apuleius inscribes the dramatic emergence of Plato the philosopher, as he moves to incorporate the gamut of valorised philosophical position into his own brand of Platonism. Chapter Three returns the Platonic <i>Vita </i>to its context in <i>De Platone,</i> as preface to the two books of Platonic physics and ethics that follow. With the <i>Vita </i>as the distinguishing feature that marks out this text from its closest Greek equivalent (Alcinous’ <i>Didaskalikos</i>), this chapter accounts for the role of biography in dictating the mode and ambit of the exegesis of dogmatic Platonism, as the <i>Vita </i>not only dictates the exegetical mode of this text, but also weights in with contributions to the finer points of Platonic doctrine. Chapter Four reads Apuleius’ spectacular work <i>De deo Socratis</i>, as it embodies Apuleius’ investment in the biographical incorporation of Platonic ideas. The personal god of Socrates (his <i>daimonion</i>) provides the deliberately chosen site for controversial discussion of the potential scope for Platonic teaching beyond Plato, for the theory of demonology, so popular in Apuleius’ own time, puts heavy pressure on exegetical commentary to re-conceive and update the doctrinal dramaturgy written into the fabric of Socrates’ life.

It is therefore not openly accessible, though it may be available by request. If you are the author or principal advisor of this work and would like to request open access for it, please contact us at open-help@bu.edu. Thank you.<br>Of the many metamorphoses in Apuleius' novel, death is a frequent yet under-studied form. On his journey to regain his human identity, Lucius faces many life-threatening experiences, which coincide with other characters' deaths, near-deaths, and apparent-deaths and help create the novel's dark atmosphere. Apuleius also presents metaphorical images of death, as I argue, when he characterizes the loss of identity, e.g., exile and slavery, as a death, a trope with precedent in Roman literature. This dissertation argues that the proliferation of death naturally derives from the novel's folkloric sources, which often address human mortality, and that Apuleius has harnessed this material and other depictions of death to present moments of identity deconstruction and recreation, moments that recall Apuleius' programmatic question quis ille ("Who is that?"). This dissertation comprises five independent yet related studies; the first three examine death and narrative, the latter two concern death and the romance. Study 1 argues thclt necromancy is a metaphor for the act of narrating and even reading the novel. Study 2 shifts to tales about the dead and argues that the bandit's narratives in book 4 serve as funeral oration that aims at commemorating false identities of the dead robbers. Study 3 then examines the paradox of preserving the memories of fictional characters, i.e., people who never existed, by exploring such instances in the Metamorphoses and other works of prose fiction and concludes that ancient fiction was used to critique and perhaps mock antiquity's obsession with postmortem commemoration. The second half focuses on Apuleius' use of death motifs popular in the Greek romances, texts that all begin with the protagonists experiencing a metaphoric death. While these deaths result in a rebirth at the end of the romances, the Metamorphoses presents Lucius as not wholly reborn. This is evident in Lucius' depiction as a death-doomed bride (study 4) and further supported by an examination of the symbolism of the rose in the Metamorphoses and the romances. This flower restores Lucius' human form, but also robs him of his human identity, prolonging his death-like existence even after his anamorphosis (study 5).

Morley, Robert Kyle. "Imagining wealth and poverty in the fictional works of Petronius and Apuleius." Diss., University of Iowa, 2019. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/6811.

Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to explore how wealthy, upper class Roman authors use the themes of wealth and poverty in their works and to assess the information that they provide us about the realities of being poor in the ancient world. The focus of the study was on the novels of Petronius and Apuleius, two authors from the first two centuries CE. I ultimately argue that while we can extract some information about the poor from these two novels, we must be cautious and consider how literary themes and traditions influenced the representation of wealth and poverty in them. Chapter one reviews scholarship on poverty in the ancient world. This chapter moves beyond the few general studies on ancient poverty to discuss other perspectives such as legal issues involving the poor, the health and diet of the larger Roman populace, land and housing considerations, depictions of the poor in art, and views of the poor in Christian texts. The purpose of this chapter is to summarize current research on ancient poverty and to provide context for the remaining chapters. Chapter two focuses on Petronius’ Satyrica. This novel has a reputation for being a realistic portrayal of low-life culture. The main characters are of limited means and are liars and thieves. Trimalchio, the famous portrayal of the nouveaux-riche freedman, is perhaps the most well known character in the novel. This chapter examines Petronius’ portrayal of the poor and asks why he portrays them as squalid, ugly, and immoral. Moreover, the chapter also investigates how Petronius portrays the rich and argues that he is just as critical of the rich as he is of the poor. Chapter three analyzes Apuleius’ Metamorphoses, with some comparison also to his Apology, which contains a philosophical encomium of poverty. The Metamorphoses ends with the main character, Lucius, becoming a devotee to the gods Isis and Osiris. Scholars are divided on how we ought to interpret the ending of novel. This chapter argues that Apuleius’ portrayal of poverty suggests a satirical intention by having Lucius become a religious devotee. The novel is not a story of redemption, as some have argued.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation focuses on the "Apologia", a speech delivered in AD 158-159 by the Latin sophist Apuleius of Madauros. The aim of this study is to shed new light on the extent to which Apuleius’ speech betrays his own knowledge of magic, and it also focuses on implications of the serious charges brought against Apuleius. By analysing the "Apologia" sequentially, I reconstruct, on the one hand, the content of the prosecution’s case which Apuleius heavily distorts to avoid any threatening innuendos. In order to do so, I examine various aspects of Greco-Roman magic and introduce a new semantic taxonomy to describe the term magus and its cognates according to the viewpoint of the ancients. On the other hand, I explore Apuleius’ forensic techniques and assess the Platonic ideology underpinning his speech; this enables me to demonstrate that a Platonising reasoning – distinguishing between higher and lower concepts – lies at the core of Apuleius’ rhetorical strategy, and that Apuleius aims to charm the judge, the audience and, ultimately, his readers with the irresistible power of his arguments.

Abstract:

This dissertation analyzes the reception of Apuleius’ Metamorphoses in C.S. Lewis’ The Horse and His Boy through a case-study of the asinine transformations of Apuleius’ protagonist, Lucius, and Lewis’ antagonist, Prince Rabadash. Lewis’ use of Apuleius’ work as a model has been established in scholarship, specifically in his reworking of the Cupid and Psyche tale in Till We Have Faces (1956). This dissertation will analyze the elements of congruity between the tales of Lucius and Rabadash, namely: (1) the disregard of a superior’s warnings (Byrrhena, Aslan); (2) the “sin” of a personal lack of control (curiositas, pride) that leads to asinine metamorphosis; and (3) the reversal of metamorphosis through public religious ritual, thus resulting in a re-establishment in society with a new status (priesthood or eternal connection to the temple/deity). Medical anthropological models, specifically the health care systems and explanatory models (Kleinman: 1980), and the cultural anthropological model of the rites of passage (van Gennep: 1969) elucidate Lucius’ experiences within the context of Apuleius’ social world (2nd century A.D.) and Rabadash’s within the fictional world of Narnia. This dissertation seeks to broaden scholarship on classical reception in C.S. Lewis’ work, and add further insight into the studies of Apuleius through the use of social scientific criticism.

Full text

Abstract:

Ce travail porte sur la réception d’Apulée (IIe siècle de notre ère) dans la littérature italienne du XXe siècle, et plus précisément sur le cas d’Alberto Savinio (1891-1952). L’étude de la relation entre les deux auteurs a été abordée selon une perspective interdisciplinaire ayant pour but de faire interagir le point de vue des études italiennes avec celui de la philologie latine. Cette recherche concerne la manière dont Alberto Savinio a lu et « réécrit » les Métamorphoses d’Apulée, roman aussi connu sous le titre de L’Âne d’or. Elle tâche de comprendre, d’une part, les raisons qui ont poussé plusieurs fois l’auteur italien vers ce texte ancien, d’autre part, les résultats esthétiques et philosophiques de sa réélaboration, laquelle s’étend sur une période de vingt ans environ, dès le début des années vingt jusqu’à la fin des années quarante. Par ailleurs, nous avons saisi de la réception savinienne d’Apulée tout un ensemble de problématiques et d’outils conceptuels qui ont permis de réaliser un approfondissement de l’analyse du texte des Métamorphoses. L’aspect le plus évident des réécritures réalisées par Alberto Savinio est, du point de vue formel, la réélaboration de la complexité des structures de l’énonciation propres à son modèle, ainsi que l’héritage de certaines pratiques métalittéraires. Nous avons de ce fait étudié le fonctionnement de la métalepse dans ce texte latin et, à l’aide de ce concept, nous avons élucidé certains passages du roman particulièrement difficiles, afin d’en améliorer la compréhension et de faciliter l’établissement critique du texte<br>The object of this research concerns the reception of Apuleius’ Metamorphoses in the 20th century Italian literature and, more precisely, the relationship between Apuleius and the Italian writer Alberto Savinio (1891-1952). This topic has been considered from an interdisciplinary perspective, in order to integrate the point of view of Italian studies with that of Latin philology. On the one hand, this research explores the way in which Alberto Savinio has read and “rewritten” the text of Metamorphoses during a long period of his multifaceted literary career, from the middle of the nineteen-twenties until the end of the nineteen-forties. The aim of the analysis is to understand the reasons which led Savinio to reflect on important issues of his time, which concern, for instance, the problem of evil in its relationship with human nature, through his interpretation of Apuleius’ work, as well as the philosophical and aesthetical results of his elaboration.On the other hand, we have come to grips with Savinio’s reception of this ancient text together with a set of problematics and conceptual devices that permits a more thorough comprehension of the Apuleian work in itself. This research investigates the function of metalepsis – a concept first identified by Genette – in Metamorphoses’ novel, elucidating its pivotal role for the construction of meaning. Furthermore, it shows how this concept allows us to deal in a more attentive way with some issues of a text-critical nature, in particular concerning the prologue (with the problem of speaker’s identity) and the authorial sphragis at the end of the novel

Full text

Abstract:

Cette thèse est consacrée à l’exploration des enjeux philosophiques, religieux et littéraires d’un motif qui apparaît dans trois œuvres majeures de la latinité : celui de la révélation finale. Le dernier livre du De republica de Cicéron avec le « Songe de Scipion », le dernier livre des Métamorphoses d’Ovide avec le discours de Pythagore, et le dernier livre XI des Métamorphoses d’Apulée avec le dévoilement d’Isis, présentent en effet tous trois la particularité de mettre en scène une expérience de révélation. Il s’agit alors non seulement d’étudier la façon dont Cicéron, Ovide et Apulée élaborent une écriture de la révélation à partir de matériaux philosophiques et religieux qu’on aura préalablement replacés dans leur contexte historique ainsi que dans l’économie générale des œuvres et des interrogations respectives de ces trois auteurs, mais aussi de déterminer les effets produits par la place de ces révélations en ce lieu traditionnel de polarisation du sens qu’est la fin d’une œuvre : quel dialogue ces trois révélations entretiennent-elles avec la structure qui les précède ? dans quelle mesure ces révélations finales dans les textes sont-elles aussi des révélations finales des textes eux-mêmes, auxquels elles apportent une élucidation rétrospective ? et quelle Weltanschauung, quelle conception de la quête de la vérité cette dynamique traduit-elle dans chacun des cas ? Cette enquête sera précédée d’un chapitre préliminaire où l’on établira les outils conceptuels nécessaires à l’étude de ce motif et où l’on analysera les antécédents grecs de celui-ci, à savoir le deus ex machina dans la tragédie et le mythe eschatologique final chez Platon<br>This doctoral thesis is devoted to the investigation of the philosophical, religious, and formal aspects of a motif which appears in three major works of Latin literature : that of final revelation. The last book of Cicero’s De republica with its “Dream of Scipio”, the last book of Ovid’s Metamorphoses with its discourse of Pythagoras, and the last book of Apuleius’ Metamorphoses with its unveiling of Isis, all share, indeed, the specificity of representing a revelatory experience. The aim of this research is then : on the one hand, to study the way Cicero, Ovid and Apuleius dream up a pattern of revelation on the basis of philosophical and religious material that we shall first replace in each case in its historical context and in the frame of the respective literary output and pervasive themes of thinking of our three writers ; on the other hand, to determine the effects given off by the setting of these revelations at the place that traditionally focuses meaning, the ending of the work : what kind of dialogue is set up between these three revelations and the preceding structure ? to what extent do those final revelations in the texts function at the same time as final revelations of the texts themselves, on which they cast retrospective lighting ? and what worldview, what conception of the search for truth does this dynamics convey in the three cases ? This investigation will be preceded by a preliminary chapter where we shall establish the conceptual tools required for the study of this motif and analyze its Greek antecedents, i.e. the deus ex machina in tragedy and the final eschatological myth in Plato

Abstract:

Mon travail a consisté essentiellement à proposer une traduction moderne et scientifique de l'herbier du Ps.-Apulée, un texte du IVe siècle qui contient des recettes médicales associées à diverses plantes médicinales. Cet ouvrage a connu un grand succès au Moyen Âge et il en existe de nombreux manuscrits. Néanmoins, il a longtemps été méprisé et considéré comme une simple compilation d'ouvrages grecs. L'édition commentée la plus récente est celle d'Ackermann en 1788 et il n'y a pas de traduction française qui tienne compte l'édition d'E. Howald et H. Sigerist en 1927 et des progrès accomplis depuis dans la connaissance de ce texte. Nous avons donc essayé de traduire le texte de l'Herbier édité par ces deux savants tout en expliquant, critiquant et parfois contestant certains de leurs choix. Nous avons aussi cherché dans l'introduction et dans les notes à situer l'oeuvre dans la tradition médicale en travaillant à la fois sur les sources de l'oeuvre et sur sa postérité et nous avons joint à la traduction en annexes un certain nombre de nos outils de travail. Nous espérons que ce travail permettra de mieux comprendre ce que représentaient les plantes médicinales, " les simples ", dans l'Antiquité tardive.

Full text

Abstract:

Les romans grecs et les Métamorphoses d’Apulée – même si les modalités sont différentes pour ce dernier – sont des fictions en prose qui fonctionnent autour de topoi auxquels la figure de l’Autre n’échappe pas. Bien que le monde grec soit alors radicalement différent de ce qu’il était au Ve siècle avant J.-C., période à laquelle l’identité grecque est construite par opposition à la figure du barbare, les romanciers qui prennent la plume à partir du Ier siècle avant notre ère utilisent un certain nombre de stéréotypes hérités de l’époque classique, alors mise à l’honneur par le mouvement de la Seconde Sophistique. Il s’agit d’étudier dans le détail certains éléments de la représentation de l’Autre pour déterminer qui il est, comment il se comporte, ce qui le constitue en Autre. Puis, à partir de cette esquisse, nécessairement incomplète, d’évaluer ce que cette représentation peut induire sur l’image de l’identité grecque à l’époque impériale, par le jeu de miroir que F. Hartog a décelé dans l’œuvre d’Hérodote. Une première partie est consacrée aux rapports entre l’homme et l’animal ainsi qu’à l’image de la sauvagerie, ce qui permet d’explorer les bornes romanesques de l’humanité. La seconde partie s’attache à des éléments que l’époque classique a plus particulièrement mis en avant pour distinguer les Grecs des non-Grecs : le critère de la langue, l’art de faire la guerre et le discours politique qui est tenu sur les institutions barbares. La troisième partie étudie la place des dieux et des pratiques religieuses dans la définition de l’Autre. J’espère ainsi contribuer à la compréhension du genre romanesque et des représentations culturelles de l’empire « gréco-romain »<br>The Greek novels and The Metamorphoses of Apuleius, even if it is in different terms for the last, are prose fictions which are based on topoi, and the figure of the Other is one of them. Although the Greek world was radically different of what it was in the fifth century BC, time during which Greek identity is contructed as opposed to the figure of the barbaros, the authors of novels, who wrote from the first century BC onward, used some stereotypes inherited from classical period, which was celebrated by the Second Sophistic movement. The aim of this thesis is to study in detail some elements of the representation of the Other to determine who it is, how he behaves, what makes him other. Then, from this sketch, necessarily incomplete, to evaluate what this representation says about the image of Greek identity in the imperial age, according to the play of the mirror detected by F. Hartog in the text of Herodotus. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the relationship between man and animal and to the image of savagery, in order to explore the novelistic limits of humanity. The second part concentrates on elements that classical period had particularly insisted on to promote the distinction between Greeks and non-Greeks : the linguistic criterion, the way to make war, and the politic discourse on the barbaric institutions. The third part study the place of the gods and of religious practices in the definition of the Other. I hope to contribute to the understanding of novel genre and of cultural representations of the « greco-roman- empire »

Abstract:

(in English): Only one of many Ancient Roman novels that were written during antiquity has survived to this day. Apuleius' Metamorphoses could have easily been lost too as it was overlooked by the Carolingian renaissance and at one point existed only in a single copy. Luckily it was found and rediscovered for the Italian Renaissance by one of the so called bookhunters in the 14th century. After that it did not cease to inspire many works of art from literature to paintings. The story of Cupid and Psyche that comes from this book was used to decorate many representational rooms from the early Renaissance on, until at least the 19th century. It seems to have been especially popular at the court of Rudolf II and it represents one of the typical mythological themes with a strong erotic potential. We can trace its roots to Italy where the novel was brought back to the literary scene. The most important visual sources, that played at least an equally important role in the dissemination of the motive through Europe as literature, also come from Italy. Especially Rome and Raphael's frescos in villa the Farnesina influenced generations of Italian as well as foreign artists. Bartholomeus Spranger, Joseph Heintz and other future court artists of Rudolf II were no exception. The antique city and antique novel...

Abstract:

Diploma thesis Bc. Anna Fauknerová (2018) Transformationand Adaptation of the Cupid and Psyche Myth in Literature Abstract This thesis deals with the myth of Cupid and Psyche. It is concerned with the version of the myth found in Apulei's novel The Golden Ass as well as in other works such as fairy tales and novels. Some of these other works refer to the myth directly while others' connections to it have not been established and they merely demonstrate similar motifs. The first part of the thesis deals with Apuleius and his text The Golden Ass, which is the oldest surviving version of the myth of Amor and Psyche. The main characteristics of the myth as well as its characters, the story and the meanings that are hidden in it are examined. The character of Psyche and the way her heroism manifests itself are examined in greater detail. The second part of the thesis compares the myth with three fairy tales and three novels based on the conclusions of the previous chapter. The greatest emphasis is placed on the development and adaptation of individual motifs, similarities and disimilarities in content and form and on the way in which the myth is reflected in literature. The third part of the thesis looks at three possible ways of interpreting the myth. Keywords: Cupid, Psyche, myth, fairy tale, motif of light...

Abstract:

Le présent mémoire cherche à relever, à travers la lecture du texte Le bain de Diane de Pierre Klossowski, les modalités propres au littéraire pour penser les liens entre les concepts d’immanence et de transcendance. Proposant en premier lieu la mise en place des concepts nécessaires à une telle entreprise, je m’attarde à des auteurs tels que Platon, Apulée, Pierre Hadot, Gilles Deleuze et Michel Foucault, ayant contribué à la conception du démon tel qu’il est décrit chez Klossowski, ainsi qu’au concept de simulacre, concept clé de la pensée de l’auteur à l’étude. En retraçant la création et la représentation de ces concepts dans divers textes, pour ensuite les retracer dans Le bain de Diane, je cherche à montrer l’importance de la figuration littéraire dans le rapport complexe que nous entretenons avec les notions de sensible et de suprasensible.<br>The present thesis seeks to address, in a reading of the text Le bain de Diane by Pierre Klossowski, the specific modalities through which literature aims to understand the complex ties between concepts of 'immanence' and 'transcendence'. To do so, I begin by introducing the concepts necessary for such an undertaking ⎯ reading authors such as Plato, Apuleius, Pierre Hadot, Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault, all of whom have contributed to the concept of the 'demon' as described in Klossowski’s work ⎯ and by introducing the concept of 'simulacrum', a key concept in Klossowsi’s writing. By tracing the creation and representation of these concepts in various texts and then identifying them in Le bain de Diane, I attempt to demonstrate the importance of literary figuration in our complex relationship with concepts of the 'sensitive' and the 'suprasensitive'.

Abstract:

Le roman Les Métamorphoses d'Apulée se distingue par les nombreux récits insérés qu’il contient et qui interrompent fréquemment la trame principale. Ces histoires étaient probablement déjà présentes en partie dans le roman grec qui a servi de source à Apulée, les Μεταμορφώσεις. Cependant, ce texte ne nous étant parvenu que sous une forme abrégée (l'ὄνος), il demeure difficile de déterminer à quel point la structure de la version latine des Métamorphoses retient de celle de l’original grec. Certes, certains éléments sont facilement attribuables à Apulée, comme le conte de Cupidon et Psyché, ou encore le 11ème et dernier livre du roman. En plus d’être divertissants, ces récits insérés reprennent les thèmes principaux exploités dans le roman, renforçant la cohérence de celui-ci. Par ailleurs, toutes ces histoires secondaires nécessitent l’intervention de plusieurs narrateurs et, en plus de Lucius (personnage et narrateur principal), divers personnages prennent la parole. Enfin, Apulée accorde aussi une grande attention à la perception que ses personnages ont des événements dont ils sont témoins ou des histoires qui leur sont rapportées. À plusieurs reprises, la subjectivité des personnages influence le récit. Ainsi, les histoires insérées des Métamorphoses, qui peuvent donner l’impression que la trame du récit est brouillonne, sont au contraire l’élément le plus original et le mieux développé du roman.<br>The Metamorphoses of Apuleius is notable for its numerous inserted tales often interrupting the novel’s main plot. These stories were probably already present, at least partly, in the Greek novel that was used as a source by Apuleius, the Μεταμορφώσεις. However this work is lost and only reached us through an epitomized version (Ὄνος), making it difficult to establish just how much the structure of the Latin Metamorphoses retains from its Greek source. Still some elements can be easily attributed to Apuleius, like Cupid and Psyche’s tale or the novel's 11th (and last) book. Besides having an entertaining purpose, these inserted tales share common themes with the main plot, creating a unity within the novel. Furthermore, multiple narrators are required in order to tell all these stories implying that, in addition to Lucius (the novel’s main character and narrator), many characters play an active part in storytelling. Finally, Apuleius pays great attention to his characters’ perception of events they witness or of stories they hear. And at several occasions the characters’ subjectivity influences the storyline. Thus the Metamorphoses’ inserted tales, even though they may at first give a false impression of confusion, should be considered as the most original and most well developed feature of Apuleius’ novel.
