Abstract

Abstract
The purpose of this article is the analysis of the ethos of the characters that act as narrators in paragraphs V to XIX of Book I of The Golden Ass. It should be noted that the study of the ethos of the speakers is based on the conception that it is the result of a pre-discursive elaboration, which will result in the construction of ethos in rhetorical discourse, a concept already expressed by Aristotle in his Rhetoric and taken up by the theories of discourse and argumentation from the second half of the 20th century. Therefore, the methodology to be used is worth as much of works of Classical Rhetoric as of the New Rhetoric. In addition, it uses approaches to Linguistics and Narratology. Because Apuleyo's novel is an example of what Bakhtin calls "dialogism and alterity," a second objective is the study of the relationships established in the discourse of the characters to try to establish the meaning sought in the work, and in consequence the incumbency or verisimilitude of these stories in it.

 

Keywords: rhetoric; ethos; pathos; Latin novel; Apuleius.
