Excerpt from Satire
Lettore, se vai nel numero di coloro che gridano sacrilegio a tutti gli ardi menti di stile se con cuore assiderato e rattratto dalla superstiziosa pedanteria ti acco alla lettura di Persio; non toccar Perno: egli è libro scomunica to per tutte le anime paurose, egli dichiara altamente.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of fifteen satirical poems written by the Roman poet Persius during the 1st century CE. Persius uses biting wit and clever wordplay to expose the hypocrisies, vices, and follies of his time. His targets include the wealthy, the powerful, and even the philosophers who claim to teach virtue but fail to live by it. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and political landscape of ancient Rome and is considered a significant work of Latin literature. Persius's sharp observations and timeless insights make his work as relevant and thought-provoking today as it was when it was first written.
