The satires of Persius (1st century AD), composed in hexameters
with a prologue in choliambics, combine the traditional social
reference of the genre with the ideal demands of philosophical
ethics to create an individual and fruitful synthesis. This new
edition of the text reassesses the dependences and relationships of
the individual manuscripts, and their resulting value in the
transmission of the text, while the role of the Persius scholia in
the transmission receives its first systematic analysis on the
basis of the recent first scholarly edition of the corpus.
The bite and wit of two of antiquity's best satirists are captured
here in a new Loeb Classical Library edition, a vivid and vigorous
translation facing the Latin text.
Persius (34-62 CE) and Juvenal (writing maybe 60 years later)
were heirs to the style of Latin verse satire developed by Lucilius
and Horace, a tradition mined in Susanna Braund's introduction and
notes. Her notes also give guidance to the literary and historical
allusions that pepper Persius's and Juvenal's satirical
poems--which were clearly aimed at a sophisticated urban audience.
Both poets adopt the mask of an angry man, and sharp criticism of
the society in which they live is combined with flashes of sardonic
humor in their satires. Whether targeting common and uncommon
vices, the foolishness of prayers, the abuse of power by emperors
and the Roman elite, the folly and depravity of Roman wives, or
decadence, materialism, and corruption, their tone is generally one
of righteous indignation.
Juvenal and Persius are seminal as well as stellar figures in
the history of satirical writing. Juvenal especially had a lasting
influence on English writers of the Renaissance and succeeding
centuries.
