Apuleius, of African birth, was educated in Carthage and Athens. His most famous work, The Golden Ass (c.150), is the tale of a young philosopher who transformed himself not into a bird as he had expected, but into an ass. After many adventures he was rescued by the goddess Isis. The episode of "Cupid and Psyche," told with consummate grace, is the most celebrated section. This romance of the declining Empire influenced the novels of Boccaccio, Cervantes, Fielding (see Vol. 1), and Smollett (see Vol. 1); Heywood used the theme for a drama and William Morris (see Vol. 1) used some of the material in The Earthly Paradise. Robert Graves's "translation abandons the aureate Latinity of Apuleius for a dry, sharp, plain style---which is itself a small masterpiece of twentieth-century prose" (Kenneth Rexroth, SR SR). The new translation by John Arthur Hanson is authoritative. (Bowker Author Biography) — biography from The Golden Ass… (more)

Short biography
Apuleo aŭ Apulejo - latine Apuleius, naskiĝis ĉirkaŭ 125, mortis en 164 - estis romana filozofo kaj verkisto de satiroj. Li naskiĝis en urbo Madaŭro, en Numidio (hodiaŭe Alĝerio), kaj estis grava personaĵo de sia epoka pri platona literaturo, retoriko kaj filozofio.

Li estis edukita en Kartago kaj Ateno, kaj vojaĝis tra Mediteraneo, studante ritojn de inico kaj kultojn. Li bone konis la grekajn kaj latinajn verkistojn, li instruis retorikon en Romo antaŭ reveni al Afriko kie li edziĝis al riĉa vidvino.

Li mortis en Kartago (hodiaŭe Tunizio).

Verkoj :

Opera omnia, 1621
Pro opozicio de edzina familio li verkis Apologion (173), specon de autobiografio. Li verkis ankaŭ multajn malsamajn poemojn kaj trataktojn, el tiuj Floridan, koletaneon de elokvenciaj verkoj, sed lia plej konata verko estas "La Ora Azeno", prozaĵo en 11 libroj kiun komence li nomis "Metamorfozoj". Ĝi estas la aventuroj de junulo Lucio, kiu estis transformita per magio en azenon kaj kiu nur reiĝis al homa formo per interveno de Izisa, al kies servo li konsakriĝis. La epizodo plej grava de tiu verko, la nura romanco el Antikveco kiu alvenis al nia erao, estas la bela fabelo pri Eroso kaj Psiĥa, kiun oni povas interpreti kiel alegorion je mistika unio.
