About the author
Apuleius (Lucius Apuleius Madaurensis Africanus; Berber: Afulay, c. 125 c. 180 CE) was a Latin-language prose writer.He was a Numidian Berber and lived under the Roman Empire. He was from Madaurus (now M’Daourouch, Algeria). He studied Platonist philosophy in Athens; travelled to Italy, Asia Minor and Egypt; and was an initiate in several cults or mysteries. The most famous incident in his life was when he was accused of using magic to gain the attentions (and fortune) of a wealthy widow. He declaimed and then distributed a witty tour de force in his own defense before the proconsul and a court of magistrates convened in Sabratha, near ancient Tripoli, Libya.
