Description

Aulus Persius Flaccus (A.D. 34-62) wrote in racy conversational Latin six satires countering contemporary vice with Stoic morality; he died young.

This is not easy poetry, with its sudden shifts of tone, switches of speaker and situation, vivid evocation of the everyday roman background, and confident handling of philosophical positions.

But it is still a good read. This edition prints the Latin text faced with a brilliant verse translation by Guy Lee.

The introduction and commentary provided by William Barr make it a suitable class text.
