LUCIUS APULEIUS African, an excellent follower of Plato his sect, born in Madaura, a Countrey sometime inhabited by the Romans, and under the jurisdiction of Syphax, scituate and lying on the borders of Numidia and Getulia, whereby he calleth himself half a Numidian and half a Getulian: and Sidonius named him the Platonian Madaurence: his father called Theseus had passed all offices of dignity in his countrey with much honour. His mother named Salvia was of such excellent vertue, that she passed all the Dames of her time, borne of an ancient house, and descended from the philosopher Plutarch, and Sextus his nephew. His wife called Prudentila was endowed with as much vertue and riches as any woman might be. Hee himselfe was of an high and comely stature, gray eyed, his haire yellow, and a beautiful personage. He flourished in Carthage in the time of Iolianus Avitus and Cl. Maximus Proconsuls, where he spent his youth in learning the liberall sciences, and much profited under his masters there, whereby not without cause hee calleth himself the Nource of Carthage, and the celestial Muse and venerable mistresse of Africke. Soone after, at Athens (where in times past the well of all doctrine flourished) he tasted many of the cups of the muses, he learned the Poetry, Geometry, Musicke, Logicke, and the universall knowledge of Philosophy, and studied not in vaine the nine Muses, that is to say, the nine noble and royal disciplines.

Psyche ist die Tochter eines unbekannten Königs. Sie ist so schön, dass alle aufhören Venus, die Göttin der Schönheit und der Liebe, zu verehren. Darüber ist Venus verärgert. Sie ruft ihren Sohn Amor und befiehlt ihm, Psyche dazu zu bringen, sich in einen schlechten Mann zu verlieben. Dieser hat sich allerdings selbst in die Schönheit verliebt und lässt Psyche in ein märchenhaftes Schloss bringen. Dort besucht er sie jedoch nur des Nachts, um zu vermeiden, dass sie ihn erkennt. Venus, voller Wut über die Unfolgsamkeit ihres Sohnes, macht sich auf die Suche nach der mittlerweile schwangeren Psyche. Diese muss daraufhin verschiedene lebensgefährliche Aufgaben für die Göttin erledigen. Doch wahre Liebe kennt bekanntlich keine Hindernisse...Lucius Apuleius wurde um 123 n. Chr. in Madauros/Algerien geboren. Er war ein antiker Schriftsteller, Redner und Philosoph. Seinen andauernden Ruhm verdankt er seinem Hauptwerk, dem lateinischen Roman "Metamorphosen", auch bekannt als "Der goldene Esel", der zur Weltliteratur gezählt wird. Die in den Roman eingefügte Erzählung von "Amor und Psyche" hat seit der Renaissance das Lesepublikum fasziniert und eine außerordentliche Breitenwirkung entfaltet und Hunderten von Dichtern, Schriftstellern, Malern, Bildhauern, Komponisten und Choreografen Motive geliefert.
