Juvenal Satires: A Selection

Autor: John Godwin

Número de Páginas: 185

This is the OCR-endorsed edition covering the Latin AS and A-Level (Group 3) prescription of Juvenal, Satire 6 and the A-Level (Group 4) prescription of Satires 14 and 15, giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed material to be read in English for A Level. Juvenal was the last and the greatest of the Roman verse satirists and his poetry gives us an exuberant and outrageously jaundiced view of the early Roman Empire. This book contains a selection from three of his satires: Satire 6 attacks women and marriage, Satire 14 critiques the role played by parents in the education of children and Satire 15 describes all too vividly the cannibalism perpetrated by warring Egyptians. These Satires expose the folly and the wickedness of the world in some of the finest Latin to have survived from antiquity.

This anthology presents a striking array of works that capture the wit, irony, and critical eye turned towards society by these storied authors. From Persius's biting observations to the ribald humor found in Lucilius, the collection shines a light on the diversity of style and subject matter in Roman satirical literature, all while offering cohesive thematic explorations of power, morality, and societal vices. The contributing satirists'—Persius, Gaius Lucilius, Juvenal, and the enigmatic Sulpicia'—represent a cross-section of Roman thought that spans the tumultuous milieu of the late Republic and early Empire. Each author brings forth unique perspectives forged by their individual contexts and styles, yet together they form a chorus that transcends their era. This collection not only navigates the intersections between history, culture, and literature but also aligns with the impulses of Stoicism, Cynicism, and even proto-feminism, as seen through Sulpicia's...
