Literature and Identity in The Golden Ass of Apuleius
Literature and Identity in The Golden Ass of Apuleius is the first English translation of a work published in 2007 as “Le Metamorfosi di Apuleio: Letteratura e identità”. \n \nThe second-century novel The Golden Ass, or Metamorphoses, has proven to be both captivating and highly entertaining to the modern reader, but the text also presents the critic with a vast array of interpretive possibilities. In fact, there is little consensus among scholar…
Apuleius and Africa
Apuleius is an emblematic figure of the relational network existing among different ethnic and cultural identities in 2nd century imperial society. In particular this author, who is the most brilliant artist of both Latin archaism and the Second Sophistic, plays a central role in important phenomena of linguistic interaction, i.e. bilingualism and the connected question of the existence of African Latin (Africitas), which his ‘eccentric’ language…
Mummius, Lucius
Lucius Mummius is especially famous for being the destroyer of Corinth in 146 BCE .

The Winged Ass. Intertextuality and Narration in Apuleius’ Metamorphoses
When Apuleius describes the act of narrating in the Metamorphoses, he usually qualifies it by reference to epic literature. This is especially true for the old woman that narrates the tale of Cupid and Psyche. The paper provides a detailed analysis of the narrative frame of Cupid and Psyche (the introductory words of the old woman, and the final comments by Lucius-the-ass), as well as of the dream of Charite that originates it
