Selections from Petronius, the Satyrica

The Tales of Eumolpus

Beschreibung

"Petronius' Satyricon is one of the few texts that offers a glimpse into the 'real' world of the non-elite Roman. This edition takes the reader through the text in a continuous arc to give a deeper understanding of the plot and characters than previous editions, which focus almost exclusively on one passage: the cena Trimalchionis. Supported by a detailed contextualising introduction and Companion Website resources, the Latin text is carefully annotated for students and a full vocabulary can be found at the end of the book"--
