Petronius Knihy

Román z doby Neronovy. Satirikon či Satyrikon, v latinském originále Satyricon, je dobrodružný román římského spisovatele Petronia. Hlavními hrdiny jsou mladíci Encolpius (ten děj vypráví ze svého pohledu) a Ascyltus, kteří soupeří o mladičkého Gitóna. Místy je doprovází básník Eumolpus. Spolu putují jižní Itálií a zažívají různá dobrodružství, často erotického rázu.

Presented via the natural method by Hans Orberg, Petronii Cena Trimalchionis is an abridged and annotated edition of Petronius' Satryrion, with introduction and marginal notes in Latin. This text may be used as a supplemental reader in Hans Orberg's Lingua Latina per se illustrate series. This can be read by students who have finished the book Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, Familia Romana, Pars I or anyone using the Lingua Latina Orberg method to learn Latin.

Petronius Satyricon, probably written between 54 and 68 CE, presents in lurid detail the disreputable adventures of Encolpius, including his attendance at Trimalchio s wildly extravagant dinner party. The Apocolocyntosis (Pumpkinification), a satire on the death and apotheosis of the emperor Claudius, is attributed to Seneca (c. 4 BCE 54 CE).
