Persio fue un poeta romano célebre por sus seis sátiras conservadas. Educado en Roma bajo la tutela del filósofo estoico Annaeus Cornutus, su obra refleja un profundo compromiso con las ideas filosóficas y una aguda crítica de las normas sociales. Sus versos son conocidos por su rigor intelectual y su profunda exploración de la naturaleza humana. El estilo distintivo de Persio ofrece una lente única para examinar las complejidades de su época.
Bite and wit characterize two seminal and stellar authors in the history of satirical writing, Persius (34 62 CE) and Juvenal (writing about sixty years later). The latter especially had a lasting influence on English writers of the Renaissance and succeeding centuries.
This translation of The satires of Horace and Persius first published 1973; revised edition, with Horace's Epistles, published 1979; reprinted with revisions ... 2005--T.p. verso.
These two volumes provide readers with a new and literal translation of the works of Roman poets Juvenal and Persius. Translator Martin Madan offers readers a fresh perspective on these two classic works, drawing out new meanings and nuances in the text that have eluded previous translators.
