Juvenal: Satires I, III, X, Paperback / softback Book

Juvenal: Satires I, III, X Paperback / softback

Part of the Latin Texts series

Paperback / softback

Description

This introduction to three of Juvenal's satires aims to help intermediate high school or college readers understand the meaning of Juvenal's Latin.

Satire I is Juvenal's explanation of why he writes poetry and satire.

Satire III discusses why life in Rome has become intolerable.

Satire X concerns itself with explaining why most prayers are misguided and - if answered - harmful. This edition made accessible, in a concise format, with an introduction and commentary, the three Satires, which are most frequently prescribed at A-level and early university courses. It has been constantly reprinted since it was first published, a measure of its success.
