Abstract

The opening choliambic poem by Persius is a signpost which guides the audience throughout the reading of his whole opuscula. From the very first line, the poet uses ambiguity to provoke the audience by taking advance of the generic characteristics of the Roman satire in order to enlarge the bounds of the social criticism. What this paper proposes is an alternative reading of this little piece to suggest the possibility of an alternative reading of the whole.
