The satires.

Edited by Niall Rudd and Edward Courtney. Bristol, Bristol Classical Press 1982, cm.15x21, pp.IV,92, paperback. Second Edition. 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.
