Inhaltsangabe

This book presents a collection of six satires composed by the Roman poet Aulus Persius Flaccus. Persius was an exceptionally gifted writer whose work brilliantly expresses the ideals and perspectives of Stoic philosophy and the art of living well that it espouses. He wrote during the mid-first century CE, a time of great social and political upheaval in the Roman Republic. As a result, many of his works feature biting and parodic expressions of Stoic thought. Persius' use of allusion and reference to illustrate his arguments reveals the influence of his education in rhetoric and grammar and positions his literary work within the broader context of classical literature. This book's insightful and accessible commentary on the human condition continues to resonate with contemporary readers.
