The Satyricon — Volume 05: Crotona Affairs by Petronius Arbiter

"The Satyricon — Volume 05: Crotona Affairs" by Petronius Arbiter is a Latin work of fiction written in the late 1st century AD. This volume follows the narrator Encolpius and his companions as they navigate a world of decadence, deception, and desire. Blending prose and verse, the narrative offers satirical glimpses into Roman society through bizarre encounters and erotic adventures. The work combines serious and comic elements, creating a unique example of Menippean satire that reveals the absurdities of wealth, pretension, and human behavior in the early Roman Empire.
