The Satyricon by Petronius

The Satyricon by Petronius

The text of "The Satyricon" and "The Apocolocynosis".

Petronius was a satirical writer who probably lived during the reign of the Roman emperor Nero. Little is known about his life, but the historian Tacitus describes a Petronius who was the arbiter elegantiae ( judge of elegance ) in Nero's court, but all biographical information is considered speculative. Frederic Raphael is the author of After the War, Coast to Coast, and The Glittering Prizes. Also a leading screenwriter, his work includes the screenplays for the Academy Awardwinning film Darling, Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, and Far from the Madding Crowd.
