Psyche and Cupid, Philology and Mercury: Dialogue and Metamorphoses between Apuleius and Martianus
Main Article Content
Abstract
Martianus’ menippean satire (second half of 5th Century A.D.) is an antididactic, destabilizing work. The author reutilizes previous discourses and ideas in a parodic way, in order to transform them in an object of mockery, attacking through this resource past conventions and traditions, which evidences a clear project of dissolution of classical knowledge and discourse. In this context, we aim to study the discursive metamorphosis operated by Martianus on Apuleius’ Metamorphoses. Through the dialogue among both works we will undoubtedly find a valuable reading-key to approach De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii, an enigmatic late antique work.
