The Satyricon — Volume 03: Encolpius and His Companions by Petronius Arbiter
"The Satyricon — Volume 03: Encolpius and His Companions" by Petronius Arbiter is a Latin work of fiction written in the late 1st century AD. This fragment of a much longer Roman novel follows the narrator Encolpius and his companions through a series of bizarre, bawdy adventures. Their escapades include disputes over a handsome slave boy, encounters with devotees of Priapus, and an infamous dinner at the estate of Trimalchio, a wealthy
freedman whose grotesque extravagance and pretentious displays expose the vulgarity of Rome's nouveau riche. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
