Arctos, '… the editor and the contributors to this volume while reaching for the star do not underestimate the difficulty of reading Roman satire and this is one of the main strengths of the book. Lector intende: this companion will delight you on your journey.' Classics Ireland, 'When travelling a long and varied road from its murky beginnings to its uncertain end one hopes for knowledgeble and interesting companions to lead one through the mud, side roads, and indiscernible paths.

Many of the writings are general and basic enough for the novice adventurer while others ... are specific and innovative enough for the specialist or seasoned traveler. In general, the writings pull no punches, are often in the vernacular, and are direct in speech like Satire itself ... The restless companion: Horace: Satires 1 and 2 by Emily Gowers ... masterfully provides a basic framework within which to understand better Horace and his writings ... cucchiarelli has teken a very dense, confusing author [Persius] and explained lucidly the reasons for his difficulty ...
