Juvenal: Satires I, III, X by Juvenal
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.
N. Rudd was co-editor of Cicero’s The Republic and The Laws. E. Courtney was author of A Commentary on the Satires of Juvenal, editor of Archaic Latin Prose, The Poems of Petronius, and The Fragmentary Latin Poets.
