Juvenal: Satires I, III, X

This introduction to three of Juvenal''s satires aims to help intermediate high school or college readers understand the meaning of Juvenal''s Latin. Satire I is Juvenal''s explanation of why he writes poetry and satire. Satire III discusses why life in Rome has become intolerable. Satire X concerns itself with explaining why most prayers are misguided and - if answered - harmful.This edition made accessible, in a concise format, with an introduction and commentary, the three Satires, which are most frequently prescribed at A-level and early university courses. It has been constantly reprinted since it was first published, a measure of its success.>
