Product Description
Commonly considered the greatest of Roman satirical poets, Juvenal is the author of sixteen satires of Roman society, notable for their pessimism and ironic humor. In this new translation of the Satires, Professor Rudd combines textual accuracy with colorful poetry, vividly conveying Juvenal's gift for evoking a wealth of imagery with a few economical phrases. ...

Product Description
Perhaps more than any other writer, Juvenal (c. AD 55-138) captures the splendour, the squalor and the sheer energy of everyday Roman life. In "The Sixteen Satires", he evokes a fascinating world of whores, fortune-tellers, boozy politicians, slick lawyers, shameless sycophants, ageing flirts and downtrodden teachers. A member of the traditional land-owning class that was rapidly seeing power slip into the hands of outsiders, Juvenal also creates savage portraits of decadent aristocrats - male and female - seeking excitement among the lower orders of actors and gladiators, and of the jumped-up sons of newly-rich former slaves. Constantly comparing the corruption of his own generation with its stern and upright forebears, Juvenal's powers of irony and invective make his work a stunningly satirical and bitter denunciation of the degeneracy of Roman society. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Beware the wasp - and the mullet!
Yes, Dr Jones may well be right in suggesting that there are better editions than this (although it would have been useful if he'd told us exactly which ones and why!). However, Peter Green arguably offers the best introduction to Juvenal's Satires. After all, Green is not writing for the specialist but for the average, intelligent reader - the kind of reader that Penguin Classics habitually caters for. Jones probably has scholars like Susanna Braund in mind and I'd imagine that her editions are those that professional classicists like him find most valuable. She offers an extremely perceptive commentary, full Latin text and a translation that is, I suspect, closer to the letter than Green's. But Braund comes at a hefty price - £18 for Volume I alone.

In any case, this Penguin edition has lots to offer besides value. Green captures the spirit and vitality, as well as the sharply ironic humour, of the original at least as well as Braund or Rudd, the two main competitors. His Juvenal sounds fresh, witty and modern (as well as occasionally loathsome, misogynistic and xenophobic). His Introduction, moreover, is extensive and engaging. It may well be 'old-fashioned' in its lack of enthusiasm for the 'persona theory' (ie the view that the poet is donning a mask and not voicing his own opinions, thereby preventing us from reading the satires as self-revelation). But Green does at least address 'the much-vexed question of Juvenal's satirical persona', and gives us an alternative approach. He inclines to the view that Juvenal's savage indignation resulted from humbling personal experience. According to long-held tradition, he was exiled - probably to Egypt. Green surmises that this story of exile is true, and that it might well have taken the harshest form - 'deportatio' - involving the confiscation of everything dear to a Roman citizen: land, money, status. In the early satires, Green sees Juvenal as 'a waspish gadfly from Aquinum' and a 'snarling chip-on-the-shoulder flay-all'. The gradual softening of tone (anger - cynicism - irony) can be accounted for, Green thinks, by a gradual improvement in Juvenal's material circumstances. In this reading, therefore, the Satires are at least partly autobiographical.

So, maybe not definitive and certainly not radical, but an edition that's good enough for the vast majority of interested readers. Good enough even for Dr Jones himself, otherwise he wouldn't have used Green's translation in his (excellent) article 'The persona and the addressee in Juvenal's Satire 11' in Ramus, vol.19, no2, pp160-68, 1990, when Braund's and Rudd's alternatives were also available.

Oh, that mullet. You'll have to read Green's illuminating note to line 317 of Satire X.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Joy to Read!
Peter Green's latest revision to his earlier translations of Juvenal's satires is an absolute joy to read!In the Introduction he recounts the changes he has made with a refreshing candor.In addition, he neatly summarizes the various viewpoints about the problematic portions of the Satires -- possible lacunae (gaps), possible line shuffling, possible transcription errors, etc.While such problems occur with any ancient text (such as the Bible), it is rarely that a translator will discuss the problems, the solutions the translator has employed, and the reasons for his or her choices outside of scholarly works.Peter Green's clear and persuasive arguments are a welcome change from the usual practice.

The translations themselves preserve the sense of the original Latin, with little or no modern colloquialisms.As the translator noted in his Introduction, he was aghast to note in the first edition the extent to which he had both varied from the original line structure of Juvenal's works and the extent to which he had employed contemporary language, which now seemed dated.As a result, Peter Green retranslated most of the Satires to correct these errors.The latest edition of this work thus is far truer to the original work.The resulting text provides fascinating insights into Roman life duriung Juvenal's lifetime.

Another wonderful aspect of this edition are the clear and self-contained footnotes.The reader is not left having to scramble to find some obscure text in order to understand the footnote.Peter Green puts all the information necessary into each footnote, and also provides external references as necessary.

This work stands in stark contrast to Walsh's translation and footnoting of Petronius' Satyricon (Oxford Classics series),which I also reviewed.

Peter Green's translation of Juvenal's Satires is well worth purchasing and reading for anyone at all interested in life and issues in life in late first and early second century Rome.

5-0 out of 5 stars Sixteen Satires of Juvenal
Juvenal had an acid tongue and were he alive today he would be a blogger satirizing the doings of the celebrated and the wealthy. Reading Juvenal is akin to reading the most viciously funny writings of Jonathan Swift. The translation of Juvenal makes it readily accessible to the modern reader.

4-0 out of 5 stars De ja vu?
Having recently finished Stephen Colbert's I am an American, this book hit me with a strange "de ja vu" feeling (go figure).Never mind that Juvenal wrote his Satires around 80 to 90 AD in/around the city of Rome.Like Colbert, Juvenal concocts a bombastic, "holier than thou" alter ego narrator who rails on every vice afflicting his contemporary culture, from avarice to homosexuality to the female sex.Although Juvenal the narrator voices his strong opinions in an over-exaggerated way (some times to the point of the reader's irritation) he provides an eye-opening window into Roman society.Effeminate men in see-through robes, women dressing up like soldiers and training in swordplay, noblemen serving themselves lobster and peacock and making their lower-ranking guests eat stale bread--all this disgusts Juvenal.Sometimes his tirades go on a bit long on subjects of less interest to modern readers (out-of-context discussions of now-forgotten politics), and some are flinchingly harsh (Satire 6 "against women"--I suspect the man was never married).For the most part, Juvenal provides an eye-opening and accessible look at how ancient life parallels the modern.

5-0 out of 5 stars Sweet, sweet ancient action
This book was totally sweet. The Roman satirist Juvenal's biting critiques of Roman civilization are as informative as they are fascinating(and I must say biting critiques make my little bitter person inside happy). His writing style and the English rendering of it flow rather nicely.Perhaps most importantly is Juvenal is able to paint a portrait of a civilization, warts and all, that has been gone for 2000 years. It's kind of like he took a snapshot of his own day that has endured until our time. Now that's what I call sweet history action!!! In fact this book is such sweet history action that when I took a Roman history class and my professor told a student to use just one of Juvenal's satires for an assignment I thought to myself it's cruel and unusual punishment to make a student just read one satire, you just have to read all of them!!! ...

Product Description
"

The bite and wit of two of antiquity's best satirists are captured here in a new Loeb Classical Library edition, a vivid and vigorous translation facing the Latin text.

Persius (34-62 C.E.) and Juvenal (writing maybe 60 years later) were heirs to the style of Latin verse satire developed by Lucilius and Horace, a tradition mined in Susanna Braund's introduction and notes. Her notes also give guidance to the literary and historical allusions that pepper Persius's and Juvenal's satirical poems--which were clearly aimed at a sophisticated urban audience. Both poets adopt the mask of an angry man, and sharp criticism of the society in which they live is combined with flashes of sardonic humor in their satires. Whether targeting common and uncommon vices, the foolishness of prayers, the abuse of power by emperors and the Roman elite, the folly and depravity of Roman wives, or decadence, materialism, and corruption, their tone is generally one of righteous indignation.

Juvenal and Persius are seminal as well as stellar figures in the history of satirical writing. Juvenal especially had a lasting influence on English writers of the Renaissance and succeeding centuries.

5-0 out of 5 stars Nice Update
This is a new update to a LCL volume that was from 1913.It contains the text of Persius' (A.D. 34-62) and Juvenal's (circa A.D. 127) satires.The update is really well done.The introduction provides an excellent introduction to the genre and a background on the transmission of the text.

The translation is well done.It is a prose translation of the Latin poems.Generally the translation is accurate with "idiom-for-idiom" translation, using equivalent contemporary American expressions for ancient slang.The translation has extensive footnotes to explain historical, mythological, literary, and geographic references.This is very handy for a reader without a mastery of classical literature.

3-0 out of 5 stars Servicable but in dire need of revision
This Loeb Classical Library edition of Juvenal and Persius was first published in 1918 and was last revised in 1940.The translations are servicable, but this particular volume badly needs the revision that otherLoeb volumes have been receiving under the skilled hand of G.P. Goold,currently general editor of the series.The translations of the Juvenalsatires in the current volume have been censored where Juvenal wasevidently felt by the standards of 1918 to have been too indecent (cf.II.49-50 for an example; the Latin, however, is untouched).While one canunderstand the reticience of the editor given his era, this censorshipshould really be remedied in a future revision (as it has been in the Loeb"Catullus" edited by Goold).Until then Peter Green's finetranslation for Penguin contains a complete rendering which will allow thereader to judge for himself or herself whether or not to be shocked by whatJuvenal says.

5-0 out of 5 stars Timeless and Priceless
I've had this particular edition of Juvenal on my shelf for at least ten years, finally picked it up, and was stunned; take away some of the Roman references, and it's as if Juvenal is writing in the next town today. The 1958 Rolfe Humphries translation is also strikingly modern, even hip. Yes Juvenal is cynical, but it's the kind of attitude that makes one think. His world 1900 years ago is so much like our own; the phrase "bread and circuses", reflecting both civilizations, is one of a number we get from Juvenal. Both the original and the superb translation are biting stuff, not for tepid constitutions. If you are a thinker, however, buy and keep this volume. It's has the value of a stiff drink. ...

Product Description
The last decades have seen a lively interest in Roman verse satire, and this collection of essays introduces the reader to the best of modern critical writing on Persius and Juvenal. The eight articles on Persius range from detailed analyses of his fine technique to readings inspired by theoretical approaches such as New Historicism, Reader-Response Criticism, and Dialogics. The nine selections on Juvenal focus upon the pivotal question in modern Juvenalian criticism: how serious is the poet when he voices his appallingly misogynist, homophobic, and xenophobic moralism? The contributors challenge the straightforward equivalence of author and speaker in a variety of ways, and they also point up the technical aspects of Juvenal's art. Three papers have been newly translated for this volume, and all Latin quotations are also given in English. A specially written Introduction provides a useful conspectus of recent scholarship. ...

Product Description

This final edition of Mayor’s Juvenal, issued here in two hardback volumes (available separately or as a slip-cased set), should be an essential part of all professional Latinists’ reference libraries. Mayor’s commentary is comprehensive on details of life and thought in imperial Rome and on Latin diction. His long introduction, or ‘advertisement’ sets an explosively volatile tone and his whole work reflects his passionate desire to save the modern world through classical wisdom.
 
Henderson’s introduction, geared to the needs of serious user and occasional browser alike, guides the reader in the use of Mayor’s commentary and explains its gestation and the mode of thinking it sought to incarnate. A substantial bibliography on both Mayor and Juvenal is also included.
