The article offers the reading of the ancient novel Metamorphoses, otherwise known as The Golden Ass by Apuleius. It relies on the theoretical frame of theater ecology (or oikology), which is the artistic concept initiated and practiced by Włodzimierz Staniewski at the Academy for Theater Practices “Gardzienice”. The nomadic and ecocentric aspects of this perspective indicate its similarities with geopoetics. The geographical space, nature and spirituality intertwine as the protagonist, who turns into a donkey and is introduced to the cult of the goddess Isis, sets on a journey in the search of οἶκος (home).

In books VI and VII of Apuleius’ Metamorphoses we find the robbers delivering some orations, which imitatethe genus deliberativum: they display sollemnity and refined elegance to such an extent, that the reader, beingaware that they proceed from the most heinous rogue’s lips, cannot but smile by himself.Composing this part of his tale, Apuleius also falls back on and re-treats some elements of the greek novel, inparticular the representation of the band of robbers like a sort of perverted state.In this article I will first show the resemblances that Apuleius’ rogue-tales share with the same places of theGreek novels’ writers, then I will continue to examine the speeches found in books VI and VII.I will demonstrate with how much elaboration Apuleius has amplified and augmented these tales, which theGreek novelists have merely outlined, for the sake of playing on extant literature, and I will clarify to whatextent we can understand this playing on literature as a parody.

The present article aims to study The Black Goat by Bolesław Leśmian in view of its intertextual dialogue with the antique model of metamorphic literature: Metamorphoses, or The Golden Ass by Apuleius. Although the fairy tale was published in a volume entitled Polish Fairy Tales, it is partially based on foreign sources that the author cleverly hid behind other Polish stories. The comparison of The Black Goat with The Golden Ass shows that the Polish poet drew inspiration mainly from Apuleius’s novel, in which a man is also transformed into a stubborn animal. The symbolism of colours and light, which Leśmian modernized and adapted for the modern Polish reader, confirms this hypothesis. Comparative work on both texts helps to understand Leśmian’s reinterpretation of the concept of metamorphosis and his contribution to the reflection on this topic.

Word anus was used in a primarily negative sense to describe an old woman. Anus is usually presented as a libidinous and hideous hag who indulges in strong wine or practices black magic, mainly for erotic purposes. Though Latin literature brings as well examples of a different type of anus: goddesses assuming the shape of old women to guide or deceive the mortals and old prophetic women, inspired by the gods. Anus can be gifted with divine powers and secret knowledge. The paper traces the motif of anus as a witch or a divine woman on the basis of selected examples from the works of Horace, Ovid, Petronius, Apuleius and Silius Italicus.

In Apuleius novel we have a seeming attack on bad character, bad behaviour of women for example main character is turn in to donkey by the witch. If we carefully analyse his literature that cover a topic of in family relationships, it can be notice thesis that, it is husband fault, by the rash and botched decision, lack of communication, starts conflicts that sometimes lead women to commit crimes. This confirm thesis that also Church Fathers preach about great responsibility of the husbands and fathers for shaping relation in his family.

This work will discuss the eponymous tale of „Cupid and Psyche”, originally written as a part of Lucius Apuleius Madaurensis’ „Metamorphoses”. The tale’s main thread, the motif of Psyche making an effort to reclaim Cupid’s lost affection, is depicted through the means of mysteriosophic context of Apuleius’ philosophy, as well as his theory on love. The work will draw upon the characteristic motifs of the ancient sacred mysteries, thus suggesting that the story of Psyche’s trials and tribulations is somewhat an allegory of the spiritual development of man, who searches for love to find the meaning of his life and the fulfillment of his spiritual yearning for the eternal and the divine.
