The goal of my work during the last 20 years or so has not been to analyse the phenomena of power, nor to elaborate the foundations of such an analysis.

Prevailing assumption is that Apuleius was retelling a story which already existed. Caution towards viewing "Written" and "Oral" as categories completely.

Sexual Universality? The Priests of the Syrian Goddess

Are They “Gay”? (What is Salient?) “… he [Philebus] was a real old queen (cinaedum)” (pp. 141) “ ‘Look, girls (puellae), at the pretty slave [Lucius] I’ve bought.’ [… the others] saying that this wasn’t a servant... but a husband (non enim seruum, sed maritum) for himself ” (p. 143) “… these effeminates (semiviris illis)...” (p. 144) Dea Syria

Recap and Update A Reprobate Redeemed

Story Arc Lucius curiosus (bks 1–3) wants to see magic Meroe watches, turns into an ass Lucius asinus (bks 3–10) abusive treatment, fortune comes to the fore Lucius initiatus (bk 11) ?? Golden Ass 38

Psyche Narrative-Thematic Arcs temptation, transformation Slavery, sexual performance, humiliation restoration, conversion marriage, temptation trials, slavery reunion, reconciliation, apotheosis Lucius Psyche

Pleasure Arc “Give me your ear, reader, you will enjoy yourself (laetaberis)” (p. 7) “… and when her time came there was born to them a daughter, whom we call Pleasure (Voluptatem).” (p. 106) “… you lowered yourself to servile pleasures (serviles voluptates) and reaped a bitter reward for your ill-starred curiosity (curiositatis inprosperae)” (p. 203) “I entered joyfully (gaudens obibam) on my duties as a member of this ancient college, founded in the time of Sulla” more pleasure Golden Ass 310

Foucault on Pleasure in Seneca “… gaudium or laetitia is a state that is neither accompanied nor followed by any form of disturbance in the body or mind. … [Voluptas] denotes... violent, uncertain, conditional pleasure....” (Foucault History vol. 3 pp. 66–67)

Gender in Apuleius Tradition and Normativity? Diversity and Empathy?

Gender in Apuleius MenWomen Golden Ass 313

Finnis v. Nussbaum Finnis “… thoughts which have historically been implicit in the judgments of many non- philosophical people, and which have been held to justify the laws adopted in many nations and states” before and after the advent of Christianity (1063). Nussbaum Greek texts “force us to confront the fact that much of what we consider necessary and natural in our own practices is actually local and nonuniversal” (1518–19), whence empathy for difference Golden Ass 314
