LNW 6365: JUVENAL
"Tacitus and Juvenal could be regarded as parallel and coeval
phenomena. Style, tone, and sentiment are comparable. Juvenal has
point and concentration, command of rapid narrative and of pictorial
evocation—and a dramatic power supremely manifested in scenes like the
fall of Seianus ..."
Taking these words of Ronald Syme (1958, 500) as our starting
point, in this course we will read Satires
1-6 and 10, with attention to allusions to historical events.
