Flourishing in the second century BC, Gaius Lucilius was the earliest Roman satirist. Revered by Cicero, Horace and Juvenal and called by some the inventor of poetical satire, he fashioned his own unique form that owed little to the Greeks. Instead, Lucilius chose for his subject the familiar concerns of everyday life, including politics, wars, justice, eating and drinking, money-making and spending, virtues and the many scandals that much occupied the men and women of Rome in the last quarter of the second century BC. He composed his satires in a forthright, independent and courageous manner, serving no private ambition or party, but writing with an honest desire to expose the follies of his time. Delphi's Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, offering both English translations and the original Latin texts. This eBook presents Lucilius' extant fragments, with illustrations, a concise introduction and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
