20.500.12556/RUL-180685 Apulejeva Kupid in Psiha v luči antičnih poročnih in zakonskih praks Apuleius’ Cupid and Psyche in the light of ancient marriage and marital practices Apulejeva Kupid in Psiha sta zakonca, ki živita po rimskih običajih, za razumevanje zgodbe pa je poznavanje teh običajev ključno. Venera lahko zvezi nasprotuje, ker ni bila sklenjena pravilno. Kupid in Psiha sta družbeno neenaka zakonca, ki sta se poročila brez privolitve ženinovega očeta, brez prič in v nepopolnem obredu. Te pravne ovire mora v zaključku pripovedi razrešiti Jupiter, ki ga kot cesarja na čelu senata bogov Kupid prosi za posredovanje v pravni zadevi. Psihini sestri izpostavita, da ju je poroka odpeljala daleč od doma in domačih, zaradi česar se počutita kot izgnanki, a ženske hkrati brez poroke niso imele nobene družbene vloge. Vsakdanja realnost je bila tudi materialna odvisnost od mož (prvi sestri mož ne dovoli dostopa do družinskega premoženja), poroka z veliko starejšim moškim, skrb za bolnega moža, izguba družbenega položaja in premoženja zaradi neustrezne poroke ali neprimernega zunajzakonskega življenja, sovražna nastrojenost tašč in drugih družinskih članov ipd. Apulej se glede tematike poroke na več mestih v pripovedi opira na stereotipe. Apuleius’ Cupid and Psyche are a married couple that lives according to Roman customs, and knowledge of them is crucial to understanding the story. The reason why Venus can oppose the union is that it was not made properly. Cupid and Psyche are not of equal social standing; they got married without his father’s approval, without witnesses and in an incomplete marriage ritual. These legal obstacles must finally be resolved by Jupiter, who is asked by Cupid to intervene in a legal matter like an emperor presiding over the senate of gods. Psyche’s sisters emphasise that their marriage has led them so far away from home and family that they feel like exiles, but unmarried women, on the other hand, had no place or role in society. Similarly, Roman women were materially dependent on their husbands (as one of the sisters is), married to much older men, having to nurse sick family members, deprived of societal position and material goods due to unequal marriages or improper cohabitation, subject to hateful behaviour of their in-laws, etc. Regarding the theme of mar-riage, Apuleius also heavily relies on stereotypes to drive the narrative. rimska književnost Metamorfoze Kupid Psiha rimska poroka antična mitologija ancient Roman literature Metamorphoses Cupid Psyche Roman wedding ancient mythology true false true Založba Univerze v Ljubljani Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Članek v reviji 2026-03-13 13:51:15 2026-03-13 13:51:22 2026-07-06 12:19:18 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 7-30 št. 2 Letn. 27 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-12-29 821.124 1580-0261 0.4312/keria.27.2.7-30 271641091 RAZ_Simunic_Tjasa_2025.pdf RAZ_Simunic_Tjasa_2025.pdf 1 03759CCC15EAE679FDB53C10A01D2287 6695f50338ff85168eea817c09f433ede3a74fc5a7d19c997e954a27b135017d 700f98e2-1edb-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=230305 https://journals.uni-lj.si/keria/article/view/27101 0 81ebc520-1edb-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=230306 Filozofska fakulteta Keria 0 0 0
