Book Description
In the ancient world, the Satires belonged to a small class of works which remained in constant circulation. They were read in the schools, were commented upon by scholars, and were forever the subject of controversy. This translation boasts several advantages over previous English versions : it is the work of a poet rather than a Latinist, and it offers a faithful rendering of Persius' franker passages which the Victorians never dared to translate fully.

Book Description
The Satires of Horace (65-8 BC), written in the troubled decade ending with the establishment of Augustus' regime, provide an amusing treatment of men's perennial enslavement to money, power, glory and sex. Epistles I, addressed to the poet's friends, deals with the problem of achieving contentment amid the complexities of urban life, while Epistles II and the Ars Poetica discuss Latin poetry - its history and social functions, and the craft required for its success. Both works have had a powerful influence on later Western literature, inspiring poets from Ben Jonson and Alexander Pope to W. H. Auden and Robert Frost. The Satires of Persius (AD 34-62) are highly idiosyncratic, containing a courageous attack on the poetry and morals of his wealthy contemporaries - even the ruling emperor, Nero.

Book Description
In this short book, Bartsch explores an understudied poet and satirist who lived in Rome during the time of Nero, a man named Persius who was friends with Lucan and a member of Seneca the Younger s entourage. Most of the satirists who lived in Rome then tended to poke fun at the great gravitas of the Stoics, but not Persius. Unique among his literary peers, he, too, wrote satires that lampooned the State and social conventions of the day, yet he wrote from a Stoic point of view, translating, as Bartsch argues, philosophy into poetry and humor."
