Juvenal was the last and the greatest of the Roman verse satirists, and his poetry offers us an exuberant and outrageously jaundiced view of the early Roman Empire. This book contains a selection from three of his satires: Satire 6 attacks women and marriage, Satire 14 critiques the role played by parents in the education of children, and Satire 15 describes all too vividly the cannibalism perpetrated by warring Egyptians. These satires expose the folly and the wickedness of the world in some of the finest Latin to have survived from antiquity.
