	Aulus Persius Flaccus - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		In his boyhood Persius wrote a tragedy dealing with an episode in Roman history, and another work, probably on travel; the excursions with Thrasea could not yet have taken place.
		The sensitive, homebred nature of Persius shows itself perhaps also in his frequent references to ridicule, whether of great men by street gamins or of the cultured by Philistines.
		The manuscripts of Persius fall into two groups, one represented by two of the best of them, the other by that of Pithoeus, so important for the text of Juvenal.

	Aulus Persius Flaccus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the Life contained in the manuscripts, Persius was a native of Volaterrae, of good stock on both parents' side.
		At the age of twelve Persius came to Rome, where he was taught by Remmius Palaemon and the rhetor Verginius Flavus.
		Persius strikes the highest note that Roman satire reached; in earnestness and moral purpose rising far superior to the political rancour or good natured persiflage of his predecessors and the rhetorical indignation of Juvenal, he seems a forerunner of the great Christian Apologists.

		According to the Life contained in the MSS., Persius was a native of Volaterrae, of good stock on both parents side.
		In his boyhood Persius wrote a tragedy dealing with an episode of Roman history, and a work, the title of which is rendered uncertain by corruption in our MSS.
		Some of the parallel passages in the works of the two are very close, and hardly admit of explanation by assuming the use of a common source.

	Nero 16
		Persius and Quintilianus were not returning for the vacations to their families, respectively in Volaterrae in Etruria, just north of Rome, and Calagurris on the river Ebro in Hispania.
		Persius and Quintilianus therefore recognised that they had a few weeks in which to implement their plan, which was based on their belief that they knew what would be one of the pastimes of Otho’s gang.
		Later, after Persius and Quintilianus had, in the privacy of their bedroom, first practised on each other, rather clumsily it has to be admitted, the act of sodomy for which they had recently been given a practical educational demonstration, giggling erupted again at recall at the success of their conspiracy.

	Juvenal and Persius
		Persius has been severally criticized by generations of Classicists, for whom Ciceronian clarity, of which it could be said that not one sentence in 5000 pages in unclear, was the desirable norm.
		Persius was obscure by preference, his vocabulary is an exotic mix of archaisms, literarisms, and vulgarisms drawn from the street, of which the sheltered Persius should have been ignorant.
		Persius can now be seen as blindingly brilliant, the master of convolutions of inner perceptions which have, behind their almost abstract use of language, messages to the heart.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 1998.10.10
		Daniel Hooley knows Persius well, and he has drawn intelligently on the scholarly tradition from the seventeenth century to the present; he has written a valuable study of Persius that, while concentrating on the issue of Persius' relationship to his literary models (principally Horace), has a great deal to offer on Persius as a whole.
		In other poems, Persius' use of Horace, while almost omnipresent, is less amenable to serving as the core of an interpretation, and what H. often gives us is an intelligent reading of these difficult poems, with particular emphasis on intertextuality and imitation.
		Persius himself is excessively telegraphic and oblique, but his use of language is sharp and precise; the lack of such precision in writing about him is unfortunate.

	Nero 14
		Persius and Quintilianus, having left the company of Axenius and me and temporarily having had their fill of Palaemon’s fare, had decided to explore some of the woodland that surrounded the picnic site.
		Further laughter erupted when Persius was heard to beg “Please Quintilianus, try to cum soon.” Fortunately, despite the acutely embarrassing circumstances, made worse by the continued chortling all around, his friend managed to comply, finally cumming in reaction to his fellow 13 year-old’s thirteenth bodily movement induced by blows to his ravaged backside.
		However, for Persius and Quintilianus, a by-product of this humiliating and discomforting attention was the continued display, despite the earlier orgasms, of full throbbing erections by the deeply shamed and tearful 13 year-old victims.

		The body of work on Persius has for years depended on a few traditional and highly specialized lines of approach, and therefore modern readers have found it difficult to come to close grips with this poet, whose works not only have substantial intrinsic value but also long-standing influence on the community of letters.
		Horace, as is generally acknowledged, is Persius's "major model." Hooley shows Persius recasting the words of his predecessor, readdressing his own relationship to the inherited voice of Horatian poetry, and so reformulating the terms of satire itself.
		Persius constructs a radical revision of satiric thought through a pervasive and, paradoxically, destructive "imitation" that operates within the tension of Horatian mastery of the form and the inadequacy of Horace's satiric vocabulary in the social climate of Neronian Rome.

		That Persius was born at Volaterrae in Etruria rests on the authority of the Biography, as also of the Eusebian chronicle; yet learned commentaries have been written to wrest the words of Sat.
		Such is the outspoken verdict of Persius on the poetry and oratory in his day; yet never for a moment does he hint at its true cause; never once does he heave a sigh-even a despairing sigh like that of Lucan[2]-over the loss of public liberty.
		Not one word is there in Persius, from beginning to end, that recognises the change that had passed over public life in Rome, or of the results of that change on the morals and intellects of the time.

		A member of a distinguished family, he went to Rome in boyhood, was educated there, and came under the influence of the Stoic philosopher Lucius Annaeus Cornutus, to whom he became attached in lasting friendship.
		He exposed to censure the corruption and folly of contemporary Roman life, contrasting it with the ideals of the Stoics and of earlier Rome.

		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.
		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.

		Powell also supports this argument by citing evidence from Quintilian and Martial that Persius was appreciated by his contemporaries and that the mere fact that his satires have survived proves that they carry literary worth.
		In these lines Persius is rejecting all literary pieces which gain respect not by there own merit but by the merit of the author himself.
		Persius then introduces his main theme, that Romans have no taste, by alluding to a myth in which Midas is given ass’s ears for his lack of musical judgment.

	Persius - Penguin Group (USA) Authors - Penguin Group (USA)
		Aules Persius Flaccus was born in AD 34 in Etruria.
		His friendship with the philosopher Cornutus began when he was sixteen and remained a strong influence until his death at the age of twenty-seven.
		Although the satires are concerned with moral questions— a fact which endeared Persius to the Church Fathers and won him admiration in the Middle Ages and Renaissance— their main interest for us lies in their condensed, allusive, and highly metaphorical style.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.11.26
		Juvenal and Persius were represented in the LCL as early as 1918, in the edition by G.G. Ramsay.
		Although S. Braund respectfully states that the old translation 'has lasted remarkably well' (p.vii), one could also say that it was obsolete, not only in its traditional, biographical approach, with the 'I' in the satirical poems being facilely identified as the poet himself, but also, perhaps inevitably, in its use of English.
		Persius and Juvenal are also presented, in 12 succinct but very helpful pages.

	Dryden's "Discourse on Satire" (Abridged)
		This was the Commendation which Persius gave him: Where by Vitium, he means those little Vices, which we call Follies, the defects of Humane Understanding, or at most the Peccadillos of Life, rather than the Tragical Vices, to which Men are hurri'd by their unruly Passions and exorbitant Desires.
		Persius was Grave, and particularly oppos'd his Gravity to Lewdness, which was the Predominant Vice in Nero's Court, at the time when he publish'd his Satires, which was before that Emperour fell into the excess of Cruelty.
		And let Persius, the last of the first Three Worthies, be contented with this Grecian Shield, and with Victory not only over all the Grecians, who were Ignorant of the Roman Satire, but over all the Moderns in Succeeding Ages; excepting Boileau and your Lordship.

		The overwhelming impression was of something deriving from a splendid course of lectures on Persius and Juvenal to a far better than average university class.
		Especially his understanding of two critically important poems, Persius Satires 5 and Juvenal Satires 3 was radically enhanced by Wehrle's explication of the satiric voices utilised by the two authors in these poems.
		To identify Cornutus as the interlocutor of Persius in Satire 5 gives a far greater resonance to the work and, indeed, a greater immediacy and intimacy to the encomium in honour of Persius' mentor.

		This paper argues that Horace and Persius draw on the production and transmission history of Old Comedy when constructing their images as satirists.
		Horace and Persius also represent the later reception of Old Comedy as ìdynamicî ñ as symbolically important for the construction of new genres and audiences.
		Thus Persius deftly appropriates all three images of Old Comedy seen in the Sermones: the rivalries performed in the Athenian theatre, the three great authors as an established canon, and the telling attitude of a given reader toward comic texts.

		The first question to ask is whether or not the treatment accorded the two authors in the one volume is either desirable or necessary.
		The review is beginning to sound ungracious and excessively harsh, which is a great pity because this reviewer found many aspects of the book to be extraordinarily persuasive and was thereby required in particular to reassess many of his axiomatic assumptions regarding two of his favourite classical authors.
		Having said that, however, Wehrle is not generous in attributing to Horace all or even some of the pervasive influence on the satires of Persius which is clearly evidenced by the text.

		But since Eliot's 'Wasteland' and Pound's 'Cantos', one does not have to apologize for obscurity, and the old excuse for not reading Persius is no longer valid.
		But attention is at last turning toward back this recondite and curious Latin author.
