The Satyricon is one of the most outrageous and strikingly modern
works to have survived from the ancient world. Most likely written
by an advisor of Nero, it recounts the adventures of Encolpius and
his companions as they travel around Italy, encountering
courtesans, priestesses, con men, brothel-keepers, pompous
professors and, above all, Trimalchio, the nouveau riche
millionaire whose debauched feasting and pretentious vulgarity make
him one of the great comic characters in literature. Estimated to
date from 63 - 65 AD, and only surviving in fragments, The
Satyricon nevertheless offers an unmatched satirical portrait of
the age of Nero, in all its excesses and chaos.
