	Trimalchio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trimalchio is a character in the Roman "novel" The Satyricon by Petronius.
		He is known for throwing lavish dinner parties, where his numerous servants bring course after course of exotic delicacies, such as live birds sewn up inside a pig and a dish to represent every sign of the zodiac.
		Trimalchio is also referred to in the novel Pompeii by Robert Harris, where the character Numerius Popidius Ampliatus, also a freed slave who has become wealthy, throws a great dinner party where there is too much for everyone to eat.

	Latin 301: Assignments
		When the narrator and his comrades are first introduced to Trimalchio, he is a "lautissimus homo." But as they observe him longer, the irony [as discussed in class] of that description becomes evident, for Trimalchio does things that are not entirely appropriate.
		Trimalchio knows his own history, so the mural only benefits his guests, and the guests, in the banquets Trimalchio throws, are there only to boost him higher.
		The tenderness and nobility of Aeneas is shown by that ekphrasis, whereas by this ekphrasis in Petronius, it is the arrogance and impropriety of Trimalchio that is demonstrated.

		Trimalchio was the only one who was much impressed by these tricks, remarking that it was a thankless calling and adding that in all the world there were just two things which could give him acute pleasure, rope-dancers and horn blowers; all other entertainments were nothing but nonsense.
		As for Trimalchio, he groaned heavily and bent over his arm as though it had been injured: doctors flocked around him, and Fortunata was among the very first, her hair was streaming and she held a cup in her hand and screamed out her grief and unhappiness.
		Trimalchio flew into a rage at her abuse and threw a wine cup at her head, whereupon she screeched, as if she had had an eye knocked out and covered her face with her trembling hands.

		He submitted it to the 'publication process,' a loose term for a sequence of mechanical and commercial operations which would, as he knew, transform it from a literary artifact in one copy to a saleable commodity in multiple copies.

		For instance, in Trimalchio, the details of Gatsby's life are told directly to Nick by Gatsby in conversation, whereas in Gatsby, Nick relates that conversation to us.

	LRB \| Zachary Leader : Daisy packs her bags (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		'Trimalchio' is the name of the wealthy and vulgar ex-slave in the best-known chapter of the Satyricon by Petronius (c.AD 27-66), 'Cena Trimalchionis', variously translated as 'The Party at Trimalchio's' or 'Trimalchio's Feast'.
		Trimalchio's feast provides what West calls 'one of the best accounts of domestic revelry to survive from the reign of the Emperor Nero', a reign with obvious connections to the America of the Jazz Age.
		Trimalchio is as obsessed with time as Gatsby, and 'has a clock and a uniformed trumpeter in his dining-room, to keep telling him how much of his life is lost and gone'.

	Some points on Petronius’ Satyricon
		Trimalchio is a former Greek slave that made it good by his service to his master and mistress, who left him money.
		Trimalchio knows that, despite his wealth, that he remains of second level status as a freedman, and so in some way this lavish display of wealth is a form of compensation for this.
		Some critics have pointed out the Trimalchio is in some sense a lord of the underworld too; in the traditional Greek underworld a huge, three-headed dog Ceberus guarded the gateway to the underworld; here the mosaic of the dog guards the entrance to Trimalchio’s house (see section 28).

		Trimalchio's spirit was very happy (considering that he finally got the ending that he had been obsessing over).

	Impotent Power: Trimalchio, Death, and Spectacle in Fellini-Satyricon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Both the movie and the novel cap the dinner sequence with the 'death' of Trimalchio, who is so concerned for his own generosity -- and so keen to show off the ostentatiousness of his funeral arrangements -- that he fakes being dead to provide a good show.
		The extent to which Trimalchio displays his luxury invites invidia, or the envious gaze; this was understood by the Romans as a kind of penetration, and consequently would be warded off with all manner of phalluses -- penetrating the eyes of the penetrator, as it were.
		This may be explained by the fact that Trimalchio, in spite of his wealth, is a freedman, an ecomomic group unconcerned with the penetrative gazes that display invites.

	The Missouri Review
		Trimalchio, the book that F. Scott Fitzgerald later turned into The Great Gatsby, might seem a kind of dry run, something between presentable draft and American masterpiece.
		Trimalchio is the book that Gatsby might have been.
		Cryptically chilling, slightly less fluent, and with more bristle around the edges, Trimalchio is the one instance in the Fitzgerald canon that brilliantly links what might have been to what was.

	An Earlier Version of 'Gatsby' Is Prepared for Publication
		The underlying novel was called "Trimalchio" by Fitzgerald, who wrote it while staying at St. Raphael on the French Riviera.
		By contrast, West worked on its reconstruction in the less salubrious mountains at Pennsylvania State University, where he is a specialist in the history of publishing and its impact on society.
		His rejected choice of "Trimalchio" drops a broad hint as to Gatsby's character, since it is taken from the name of a former slave who becomes rich and tastelessly tries to win the respect of the establishment in first century Italy.

		All began to express their gratitude to so kind a master, when Trimalchio, quite dropping his trifling vein, ordered a copy of his will to be fetched, and read it through from beginning to end amid the groans of all members of the household.
