Reading Petronius

0/5 ( ratings)

'The Satyricon, ' writes Niall W. Slater, 'has been a critical embarrassment ever since its rediscovery-- it will neither explain itself nor go away.' Earlier centuries found the book scandalous, in part for its wide-ranging and explicit sexual content, while some, more recently, have praised it for the very reasons it had scandalized others.
