Sophistic(ated) Discourse - Cultural Context of Apuleius' Florida
Original language description
The excerpts of Apuleius' speeches held in public collected under the heading of Florida are the example par excellence of the typical practice of the 2nd century educated elite society. It not only displays the kind of textual interplay so popular within the representatives of the intellectual movement called Second Sophistic, but also provides us with much information on the widespread phenomenon of Apuleius' times, namely the blending and interference of various Mediterranean traditions. Though nothing changed about the fact that the highest levels of education were still available only to those possessing great fortune, many famous men of letters including Apuleius emerged in purely provincial environments. There is no doubt that the Graeco-Roman culture dominates the Florida collection, but the fact that these speeches were given primarily for the local provincial Carthaginian audiences during the 160s CE is not without a significance.
