The Satyricon — Complete by Petronius Arbiter

The Satyricon’ is a Latin work of fiction believed to have been written by Gaius Petronius, though the manuscript tradition identifies the author as a certain Titus Petronius. The Satyricon is an example of Menippean satire, which is very different from the formal verse satire of Juvenal or Horace. The work contains a mixture of prose and verse; serious and comic elements; and erotic and decadent passages.
