Petronius’ Satyrica, one of the significant fictional texts of Antiquity, stands since decades in the focus of international research. This new commentary on the second half of the Satyrica presents the reader with all relevant information regarding the language, the “Realien” (antiquarian facts) and the novel’s plot. In addition it engages with the scholarly discussion on the novel and thus contributes to the Satyrica’s interpretation. Petrons Satyrica, einer der maßgeblichen fiktiven Texte der antiken Literatur, stehen seit den sechziger Jahren im Brennpunkt der internationalen Forschung. Lange Zeit war dieser Text nur in seiner zentralen Partie, der berühmten Cena Trimalchionis, in moderner Kommentierung erschlossen. Diesem Missstand schafft der hier vorgelegte Kommentar für die besonders vernachlässigte zweite Werkhälfte Abhilfe. Er gibt dem Leser alles an die Hand, was zum Verständnis der Sprache, der Realien und der Handlung dienen kann. Darüber hinaus arbeitet er die wissenschaftliche Diskussion des Romans exemplarisch auf und leistet so einen grundlegenden Beitrag zu der nach wie vor umstrittenen Deutung der Satyrica insgesamt. Im Mittelpunkt der Exegese steht die berühmte Novelle der "Witwe von Ephesos", deren kontroverse Diskussion in der modernen Sekundärliteratur ebenso beleuchtet wird wie ihre Rolle im Kontext des Romans.

This book aims to provide a comprehensive inquiry into the short metrical intermezzos inserted in the prose narrative of Petronius’ Satyrica. The text of each poem has been thoroughly investigated; in addition, special attention has been devoted to their function in the context and to the aspects connecting Petronius with the literature and culture of his time. Numerous contacts with other ancient authors have been pointed out to illustrate Petronius’ attitude to the cultural and literary heritage on the one hand, and the character of his own work on the other.Book (PDF) ↓ISBN:978-3-653-00708-4DOI:https://doi.org/10.3726/978-3-653-00708-4Availability:AvailableSubjects:Science, Society and Culture

Realistic representation of the speech of the lower classes in ancient literature is largely confined to the comic genres, and Petronius' realism in this area is more thorough-going than that of any other ancient author. A vast scholarly literature has grown up around the question of how faithfully the speeches of Petronius' freedmen reflect characteristics of actual popular speech; this literature is reviewed and evaluated. A survey of the phonological, morphological, lexical, and syntactic peculiarities in these speeches is then undertaken, in which they are compared with other 'vulgar' Latin sources such as the Pompeian inscriptions; Petronius is in fact one of our most important early sources for the study of popular Latin. The way in which Petronius used specific varieties of non-standard Latin to characterize different freedmen speakers is explored: Petronius has subtly modulated his freedmen's speeches to reflect differing emotional states and the different attitudes of the speakers toward their social position. The present study is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject undertaken in over forty years in any language and the only one in English.
