Περιγραφή : The Satyricon of Petronius, Nero's Tutor in Refinement, recounts the sexual adventures of the comic rogue Encolpius (Mr Groin) and his companions - the pretty boy Giton (Neighbour), the formidable Ascyltus (Mr Indefatigable) and the mediocre poet Eumolpus (Mr Sweet-singer) - as they travel round Italy in search of a free meal. These are Petronius' narrative vehicles, enabling him to poke fun at the social, religious and aesthetic customs of his time. The lively debates on the decline of education and the arts, the obscene encounters with libidinous priestesses and impotent witches, and the satirical portrayal of excessively wealthy freedmen, are related in sophisticated fashion, while the absence of a beginning and end to the story adds to its controversial and enigmatic nature. Essential reading for students of Roman civilisation and English prose fiction, this novel remains unique among surviving ancient literature.
