In Book 11 of Apuleius’s Metamorphoses, a stark naked Lucius, having eaten the prescribed roses from the hands of a priest of Isis, gradually appears where before there had only been his asinine form.1 Almost immediately, a member of the Isiac procession steps forward, clothing the naked man in the linen tunic off of his own back: the first physical mark of the last major metamorphosis of the novel, that of man to priest (11.14). This Apuleian moment can be compared to the same scene of transformation in the Onos, in all likelihood an epitome of Apuleius’s Greek source text, in which Loukios, after eating roses in the middle of the amphitheater, returns to his human form.2 Unlike Lucius in the Metamorphoses, in the Onos, Loukios remains naked as he begs the provincial governor for his life and his “re-clothing” goes unmentioned.3

外表可能具有欺骗性:阿普列乌斯的《变形记》、《佛罗里达》和《道歉》中的服装和身份

在 Apuleius 的 Metamorphoses 的第 11 卷中,一个赤裸裸的 Lucius 吃掉了 Isis 牧师手中的规定玫瑰,逐渐出现在之前只有他的愚蠢形态的地方。 1 几乎立即,一名 Isiac 队伍的成员上前,将穿着亚麻外衣的裸体男人从他的背上脱下来:这是小说最后一次重大变形的第一个物理标志,即从人到牧师的转变(11.14)。这个 Apuleian 时刻可以与 Onos 中的同一场景进行比较,这很可能是 Apuleius 希腊原文的缩影,其中 Loukios 在圆形剧场中央吃了玫瑰后,恢复了他的人形。 2 与 Lucius 不同在 Metamorphoses 中,在 Onos 中,Loukios 仍然赤身裸体,乞求省长饶他一命,而他的“换装”却无人提及。 3
