Product Description
Greece & Rome
"A work which exhibits characteristic clarity."
Review
Edward Courtney's A Companion to Petronius fills a significant niche in Petronian studies, offering a concise, readable introduction to the Satyricon which covers major critical issues such as the identity of the author, genre, parody, first-person narrative, symbolism, and the combination of prose and verse, together with a sequential, commentary-style description and discussion of the entire text ... It will be a valuable study and teaching aid. (Hermathena: A Trinity College Dublin Review )
The writer of this book is a distinguished Latinist ... no-one interested in Petronius could fail to be stimulated by the rich ore buried in these dense seams. (JACT Review )
A work which exhibits characteristic clarity. (Greece & Rome )
Courtney has made a number of discoveries that future studies will find tremendously useful. His observations on those Satyrica passages where Homer's Odyssey shines through deserve particular mention. (Journal of Roman Studies )
