Juvenal: Satires I, III, X - Paperback

by Juvenal (Author), Niall Rudd (Editor), Edward Courtney (Editor)

This introduction to three of Juvenal's satires aims to
help intermediate high school or college readers understand the meaning
of Juvenal's Latin. Satire I is Juvenal's explanation of why he writes
poetry and satire. Satire III discusses why life in Rome has become
intolerable. Satire X concerns itself with explaining why most prayers
are misguided and, if answered, harmful.
