内容简介 在线阅读本书
The complexity of the Roman scene is presented by the satirist Juvenal in these verses, which were written during the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian. Peter Green's introduction says of Juvenal's satires, "... he simply hangs a series of mortal portraits on the wall and forces us to look at them".
作者简介 Little is known about Juvenal's life (A.D. 55 - 140) except that his satirical sketches caused much controversy and resulted in him being exiled from his home country for a period of years. Peter Green was Director of Studies in Classics at Cambridge and then worked for a number of years as a freelance writer, translator and journalist. In 1963 he emigrated to Greece and lectured in Greek history and literature at Athens from 1966 to 1971. He is now Dougherty Centennial Professor of Classics at University of Texas, Austin.
