Post Augustan Poetry is a book written by Hiram E. Butler that explores the poetry produced during the period after the reign of Augustus in Rome. The book covers a wide range of poets and styles, including Ovid, Juvenal, Martial, and Catullus. Butler analyzes the themes, techniques, and historical context of each poet's work, shedding light on their contributions to the literary landscape of the time. The book also delves into the influence of Greek poetry on Roman poets and the evolution of Latin poetry during this period. Overall, Post Augustan Poetry provides a comprehensive and insightful look into the poetry of ancient Rome, making it a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike.The most curious and in some respects the most remarkable work that the Silver Age has bequeathed to us is a fragment of a novel, the Satyricon of Petronius Arbiter, Its author is generally identified with Titus Petronius, the friend and victim of Nero. Tacitus has described him in a passage, remarkable even among Tacitean portraits for its extraordinary brilliance. 'His days he passed in sleep, his nights in the business and pleasures of life. Indolence had raised him to fame, as energy raises others, and he was reckoned not a debauchee and spendthrift, like most of those who squander their substance, but a man of refined luxury.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
