Description

Explore the deep connections between the Roman author Apuleius and his North African roots with this scholarly work from the Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies series. This volume examines the cultural context of the Metamorphoses, also known as the Golden Ass, a Latin novel written around 170 CE. As a native of Madauros in Roman North Africa, Apuleius brings a unique perspective to his writing. This text looks at how his background influences his storytelling, from the adventures of a Greek character traveling to Rome to the religious themes involving the Egyptian goddess Isis. For students and researchers of classical literature, this book provides a focused look at the historical and geographical origins of one of the most famous novels of the era. It serves as an essential resource for understanding the literary landscape of Roman North Africa and the works of Apuleius, including his Florida and Apology.
