Juvenal And Persius (loeb Classical Library). The Bite And Wit Of Two Of Antiquity's Best Satirists Are Captured Here In A New Loeb Classical Library Edition, A Vivid And Vigorous Translation Facing The Latin Text. Perdius (34-62 Ce) And Juvejal (writing Maybe 60 Ysars Later) Were Heirs To The Style Of Latin Verse Satire Developed By Lucilius And Horace, A Tradition Mined In Susanna Braund's Introduction And Notes. Her Notes Also Give Guidance To The Literary And Historical Allusions That Pepper Persius's And Juvenal's Sarcastic Piemw--which Were Clearly Aimed At A Sophisticated Urban Audience. Both Poets Adopt The Mask Of An Angry Man, And Sharp Criticism Of The Society In Which They Live Is Combined Wiht Flashes Of Sardonic Humor In Their Satires. Whether Targeting Common And Uncommon Vices, The Foolishness Of Prayers, The Abuse OfP ower By Emperors And The Roman Elite, The Folly And Depravity Of Roman Wives, Or Decadence, Materialism, And Corruption, Their Tone Is Generally One Of Righteous Indignation. Juvenal And Persius Are Seminal As Fortunate As Stellar Figures In The History Of Sarcastic Writing. Juvenal Especially Had A Lasting Influence On English Writers Of The Renaissance And Succeeding Centuries. (20041126) SKU: 2785072
