- Silver Latin Poetry And The Latin Novel (By Richard Jenkyns)
Petronius has been translated by W. Arrowsmith (Ann Arbor, 1962); there are translations in the
Penguin Classics series of Persius (together with Horace's Satires and Epistles) by N. Rudd; Petronius
(together with Seneca's satire Apocolocyntosis) by J. P. Sullivan; selected epigrams of Martial by J.
Michie; Juvenal by P. Green; and Apuleius, The Golden Ass by R. Graves. Marlowe translated Lucan's
first book. Dryden's rendering of Persius and five satires of Juvenal (The Poems of John Dryden, ed. J.
Kinsley (Oxford, 1958), vol. 2) are a part of English literature; his version of Juvenal gives a better idea
of the grand declamatory manner than is possible in a modern idiom. Compare too Samuel Johnson's
'imitations' of Satires 3 and 10, 'London' and 'The Vanity of Human Wishes'. Walter Pater incorporated a
translation of Apuleius' story of Cupid and Psyche into ch. 5 of his Marius the Epicurean; it conveys
something of Apuleius' elegance, though not of his verve. The Loeb Classical Library contains none of
Apuleius' works except The Golden Ass, but otherwise includes all the works discussed in this chapter.
