	Petronius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		If, however, we accept the identification of this author with the Petronius of Tacitus, Nero's courtier, we must suppose either that Massilia was his birthplace or, as is more likely, that Sidonius refers to the novel itself and that its scene was partly laid at Massilia.
		The high position among Latin writers ascribed by Sidonius to Petronius, and the mention of him by Macrobius beside Menander among the humorists, when compared with the absolute silence of Quintilian, Juvenal and Martial, seem adverse to the opinion that the Satyricon was a work of the age of Nero.
		In the novel Quo Vadis and its versions, C. Petronius is the preferred courtier of Nero, using his wit to adulate and mock him at the same time.

	The Satyricon of Petronius
		Gaius Petronius (~27-66 A.D.), the author of the Satyricon, was the emperor Nero's advisor in matters of luxury and extravagance (his unofficial title was arbiter elegantiae).
		He was a lover of style, manners, and literature, and his personality was characterized by freedom, a lack of self-consciousness, a loose tongue, and an attitude.
		Petronius probably read it in installments to his friends, and possibly to the court of Nero.

		Petronius is the only one of the three which recalls the reason why a guard was initially posted: `the parents of one of the crucified men, seeing the watch had been relaxed, took down the hanging body in the dark and gave it the final rites' (Sat.
		Consider Petronius' account (unmatched by the others): the widow has recently lost her husband; the lover she has just as recently taken bursts in to tell her the terrible news; he threatens suicide, and her new-found happiness is threatened with greater sadness than before.
		Petronius establishes the motivation of the widow's action to the extent that, although her behaviour is not presented as excusable, she is portrayed in such a way that Eumolpus' audience can sympathise with her (although, of course, they do not).

	PSN NEWSLETTER # 1
		It is argued that a principal object of Petronius' satire is artificiality (both literary and as reflected in modes of behavior) and self-delusion, which intervene between individuals and reality.
		Petronius is a literary opportunist dealing with each situation in a way in which he can extract the most humor, satire, and parody.
		All of Petronius' characters are there in one conglomeration; the emperor's sister puts in an appearance; all the action takes place at the party of Trimalchio, who is known also as Daddy Moolah.

		They are the first of their kind in literature, but from Petronius’ day to this they will be the common characters of all picaresque romance.
		As a living body is sustained and nourished by its bloodstream, the style of Petronius is suffused by a sense of indefinable sorrow which haunts and corrupts all possible achievement.
		Petronius, the adviser of Nero’s manhood, is a kind of anti-Seneca.

		Petronius repeated in public, it is true, that it was all one to him, and that he had spoken to Cæsar only privately, as the arbiter elegantiarum whose æsthetic taste was offended by a barbarous slaughter befitting Scythians and not Romans.
		Petronius, who lived with incomparably greater show and elegance, could find nothing which offended his taste; and had just turned to Vinicius with that remark, when a slave, the velarius, pushed aside the curtain separating the atrium from the tablinum, and in the depth of the building appeared Aulus Plautius approaching hurriedly.
		She was known to Petronius, though he did not visit Plautius, for he had seen her at the house of Antistia, the daughter of Rubelius Plautus, and besides at the house of Seneca and Polion.

		Petronius closed his eyes again, and had given command to bear him to the tepidarium, when from behind the curtain the nomenclator looked in, announcing that young Marcus Vinicius, recently returned from Asia Minor, had come to visit him.
		Petronius ordered to admit the guest to the tepidarium, to which he was borne himself.
		Petronius had for him a certain weakness bordering on attachment, for Marcus was beautiful and athletic, a young man who knew how to preserve a certain aesthetic measure in his profligacy; this, Petronius prized above everything.

		The only crime in Petronius' imagined universe, as the paired tales of the Widow of Ephesus and of the Boy of Pergamon suggest, is denying one's sexual appetites; such hypocrisy is punished, generally through comic ridicule.
		The Satyricon is the prototype for such contemporary gay novels as John Rechy's City of Night (1963), Daniel Curzon's The Misadventures of Tim McPick (1975), and Luis Zapata's Adonis Garcia (1979), in which travel licenses sexual experimentation as well as indulgence.
		A theory of art and an approach to living that influenced many European and American gay male and lesbian writers at the turn of the twentieth century, aestheticism stressed the independence of art from all moral and social conditions and judgments.

	Harvard University Press: Satyricon. Apocolocyntosis
		Petronius (C. or T. Petronius Arbiter), who is reasonably identified with the author of this famous satyric and satiric novel, was a man of pleasure and of good literary taste who flourished in the times of Claudius (AD 41–54) and Nero (54–68).
		The surviving parts of Petronius' romance Satyricon mix philosophy and real life, prose and verse, in a tale of the disreputable adventures of Encolpius and two companions, Ascyltus and Giton.
		In the course of their wanderings they attend a showy and wildly extravagant dinner given by a rich freedman, Trimalchio, whose guests talk about themselves and life in general.

		Trimalchio's restroom breaks are like those times in the narrative where Petronius himself seems to take breaks from the actual plot, as in Eumolpus's extended and inane epic poem on the Roman civil war.
		If Petronius was a participant in these entertainments, he certainly had had ample opportunity for first hand observations on low life and indeed much of this material found its way into his novel.
		My suggestion would be if it's too obscure, a book on Petronius or Nero would've enlightened him but he's been busy reading Ann Coulter and reviewing her "book" to the tune of 5 stars instead.

	Petronius
		The name of one Gaius (?) Petronius who died in 65 A.D. has been for so long associated with the fragmentary novel called The Satyricon, that it seems petty at this time to argue the question of authorship.
		Tacitus does give in about a page a vignette of Petronius, formerly consul and a governor of Bithynia, adding that he was a man of undisputed taste, which led to his being called (or appointed?) arbiter elegantiae, an interesting and unique title, but one whose meaning is not really clear.
		The question still remains whether the kind of man Tacitus describes would be like to write a novel devoted to people of the lower classes, whether he would be as intimately aware of their language and their sociology as the writer of the Satyricon is.

		I envision for this course a paper of 10-15 pages, involving close reading of Petronius' text and consultation of various other primary and secondary sources.
		A few areas which occur to me are public and private baths, Trimalchio's planned tomb as it compares with real tombs in Pompeii and elsewhere, tableware, wall painting, layout of cities and houses, hotels, shipping, and farm life (as evidenced in the reports from Trimalchio's latifundia).
		Some schools that seem to me to have possibilities are narratology, structuralism, feminist theory, and Bakhtin's theory of the novel.

		Then falling back into vice or affecting vice, he was chosen by Nero to be one of his few intimate associates, as a critic in matters of taste, while the emperor thought nothing charming or elegant in luxury unless Petronius had expressed to him his approval of it.
		And so he worked on the prince's cruelty, which dominated every other passion, charging Petronius with having been the friend of Scaevinus, bribing a slave to become informer, robbing him of the means of defence, and hurrying into prison the greater part of his domestics.

	THE SATYRICON (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		From the standpoint of environment, Petronius, in the greater portion of his work, is an ancient; but one exception there is, and it is as brilliant as it is important.
		The vagrant heroes of Petronius are the originals from whom directly, or indirectly, later authors drew that inspiration which resulted in the great mass of picaresque fiction; but, great as this is, it is not to this that the Satyricon owes its powerful influence upon the literature of the world.
		From the very nature of the writings of such an author as Petronius, it is evident that the gaps in the text would have a marked tendency to stimulate the curiosity of literary forgers and to tempt their sagacity, literary or otherwise.
