The Wanton World of Nero’s Rome Caught by the Satiric Genius of its Most Cultured Cynic-
A Mentor Book First Printing, Published in 1960

—The Satyricon is considered one of the gems of Western literature, and, according to Branham, it is the earliest of its kind in Latin. Petronius mixes together two antithetical genres: the cynic and parodic menippean satire, and the idealizing and sentimental Greek romance.

Set around the same time that it was written, The Satyricon begins in Campania, part of the Roman Empire. The protagonist of the story is a man named Encolpius, who travels with his slave and sexual partner Giton through a series of increasingly strange misadventures.
