The Satyricon of Petronius Arbiter
The Satyricon is a Latin work of fiction in a mixture of prose and poetry, which is commonly known as prosimetrum, characterizing as serious and comic elements, erotic and decadent passages. The surviving sections of the original text detail the bizarre exploits of the narrator, Encolpius, and his slave and boyfriend Giton, a handsome sixteen-year-old boy. It is regarded as useful evidence for the reconstruction of how lower classes lived during the early Roman Empire.
Petronius the Artist
With one exception, the essays which form this book have appeared in various Classical periodicals. They do not claim to present a com prehensive account of Petronius and his work, but are intended to illustrate by discussion some aspects of the work and its author that seem, to me at least, to be of interest. "Did Tacitus quote Petronius" appeared in L'A ntiquiM Classique XXXVII, 2, 1968, 641-643; "On Tacitus' Biography of Petronius" and "Petronius, Priapus and Priapeum LXVIII" in Classica et Mediae valia XXVI 1-2, 1965, 233-245, and XXVII 1-2, 1966, 225-242 respectively; "Some Comments on Petronius' Portrayal of Character" will appear soon in Eranos; "Eating People is Right" appeared in He...

THE SATYRICON OF PETRONIUS ARBITER
The Satyricon is a work of fiction in a mixture of prose and poetry. It is believed to have been written by Gaius Petronius, though the manuscript tradition identifies the author as a certain Titus Petronius. It details the misadventures of the narrator, Encolpius, and his lover, a handsome sixteen-year-old boy named Giton. Throughout the novel, Encolpius has a hard time keeping his lover faithful to him as he is constantly being enticed away by others.
SATYRICON
The work Satyricon, or Satiricon, was written in 66 AD by Gaius Petronius Arbiter, a Roman courtier during the time of Emperor Nero. A classic of world literature and an important testimony to life in ancient Rome, Satyricon is considered the first realistic novel in world literature. It contains themes that would be explored in greater depth only in the Realist literature of the late 19th century, such as social exploitation and hypocrisy. Most of the characters in Satyricon are devoid of modesty. It is very interesting to note the complete amorality of the citizens, as Christianity had not yet "purified" everyone. There is no repression or shame regarding sexuality. Like any universal classic, Petronius' text describes scenes that can still be identified in human behavior today. In this case, the author's observations about the high society of his time and their behavior still retain an impressive resemblance to their current equivalents. In the words of Otto Maria Carpeaux: "Petronius' work is of strange and cheerful relevance."
