This is the OCR-endorsed edition covering the Latin AS and A-Level (Group 3) prescription of Juvenal,
Satire 6 and the A-Level (Group 4) prescription of
Satires 14 and 15, giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed material to be read in English for A Level. Juvenal was the last and the greatest of the Roman verse satirists and his poetry gives us an exuberant and outrageously jaundiced view of the early Roman Empire. This book contains a selection from three of his satires:
Satire 6 attacks women and marriage,
Satire 14 critiques the role played by parents in the education of children and
Satire 15 describes all too vividly the cannibalism perpetrated by warring Egyptians. These
Satires expose the folly and the wickedness of the world in some of the finest Latin to have survived from antiquity. Supporting resources are available on the Companion Website: https://www.bloomsbury.pub/OCR-editions-2024-2026
