  • The Satyricon of Petronius Arbiter (Complete)

    by Petronius Arbiter ...
    Heinsius and Scaliger derive the word from the Greek, whence comes our English word satyr, but Casaubon, Dacier and Spanheim derive it from the Latin ‘satura,’ a plate filled with different kinds of food, and they refer to Porphyrion’s ‘multis et variis rebus hoc carmen refertum est.’ The text, as we possess it, may be divided into three divisions: the first and last relate the adventures of ...

  • The Odyssey: A Screenplay

    by Petronius Juvenal ...
    Every generation needs a new adaption of the Odyssey, if for no other reason than to remind us there is no other work in the history of literature compares to it (sorry J.J. and S. Kubrick).

Try to imagine the ... Read more
