Concept: Pixelart Metroidvania where you crawl across a illustrated medieval codex inspired landscape battling weird demons
An illustration from a Medieval Bestiary Apuleius advises the use of demons as mediators between mankind and the gods A cool image i found on google depicting demons interacting with a woman counting coins a cool image i found on google depicting a sick lion thing with antlers and crowns and animal heads in its mane

1/4 In Madauros, de stad van Apuleius, zag ik dit reliëf van ... is het handelsgod Mercurius met geldbuidel en staf, of is het Aesculapius met haan? Wat doet de rest van de dierentuin (schorpioen, geit [?], schildpad) daar?

Yeah, the episodic format works so well. It’s dope how Apuleius uses such a frankly dumb plot setup as a way to show all the different levels of society at the time. Also…he did not have anything nice about people in the nascent Jesus cult.

IF Apuleius' Golden Ass is actually his Isis self-insert fan fic... that explains a lot.

I’m in the audience for asses.masses now (553 minutes in, between episode 8 and 9) and I’ll try to describe it: FFVI parody + Apuleius homage + workers’ revolution parable + mass puzzle game + rhythm-action sex simulator + improv-acted visual novel + watching a Rocky Horror Picture Show emerge live

Gonna go see and/or play asses.masses (assesmasses.work) by Milton Lim and Patrick Blenkarn this weekend and the theater was like "could you write something about games" and I was like "but I haven't even seen it yet" and they were like "that's ok just write" so here nyuskirball.org/article/naom...

So sieht ein etwa 1500 Jahre altes Kräuterbuch aus.
(Pseudo-Apuleius, Leiden, Ms. Voss Q. 9)
Aufgeschlagenes Buch mit lateinischen Majuskeln (Großbuchstaben) und einer Pflanzenabbildung in der oberen Hälfte der rechten Seite.

Een tip: lees Apuleius zijn Metamorphoses; ook wel De Gouden Ezel genoemd. Dit is de enige complete roman uit het Romeinse Keizerrijk die we hebben en het heeft een sterk fantastisch element.

What a brilliant opening night of THE GOLDEN ASS at
The Pumphouse! Based on the 2000 year old Roman novel by Apuleius, it's a satire that is highly relevant to today (the more things change … ) and incredible physical comedy.

Coming at you full force via ancient Rome, Michael Hurst’s free-wheeling adaptation of the notorious original is a wild ride through a timeless world of bandits, goddesses, witches, magic, circuses, s...

The Latin novelist Apuleius describes a scene that seems familiar today. THE GOLDEN ASS is a satiric fantasy, describing the transformation of Lucius, a curious young man, into a beast of burden. Yet the tale’s magical elements exist alongside an almost journalistic sense of social conditions.

Meanwhile later this week I’ll be heading up to Leeds to film *another* course on Apuleius for the A Level Latin lot.

Yesterday's class was quiet, so I recounted this Simpsons moment. Alas, it did not goose our discussion of Apuleius book 10.
Grandpa Simpson asking "What's so unappealing about discussing donkey sex with your millennial professor?"

Apuleius, 'Metamorphoses' 11. 23: "Quaeras forsitan satis anxie, studiose lector, quid deinde dictum, quid factum..." [You may perhaps be asking anxiously, Diligent Reader, what was then said and done...]

There are examples in Ovid and Martial too.

Achillea in Pseudo-Apuleius Herbarius usually is alike the one in Ex herbis femininis.

i thought it might be fun to post images from medieval herbals and get peoples' opinions on which plant is being depicted. i'll start w/ an 11thc text digitized by the Bodelian Library: Dioscorides, Herbals (extracts); authored by Pseudo-Apuleius.

So Lucius Apuleius might legitimately be my past life incarnation because we have the same random and focused manners in our writing. As well as a morbid formal informality.

Der meiste der Unsinn, der sich "Volksheilkunde" nennt, stammt aus Pseudo-Apuleius oder Pseudo-Macer und wurde von Grimm zu "germanisch" umdeklariert.
(Dazu hatte ich schon was verlinkt.)

Die Meerzwiebel hatte u. a. Dioskurides recht ausführlich, hatte ich auch schon geschrieben.

“intera Psyche variis iactabatur discursibus dies noctesque
mariti vestigationibus inquienta animo”

Meanwhile Psyche was tossed about in various ways day and night,
her restless mind tracking her husband

Plus colleague Lynn has much fun teaching Cicero Pro Milone. Maybe there’s a case for making everyone read Cicero? Although Apuleius’ Apology is so much more fun.
