Review Quotes: "Wade Richardson's new critical edition and translation of The 'Satyrica' of Petronius is a splendid piece of scholarship, both a delight to read and a valuable addition to the Phoenix Supplementary Volumes series. The book represents a major contribution to our understanding of what Petronius actually wrote and of what his precise wording actually means. It is the result of many years of impressively attentive and sympathetic consideration of Petronius' remarkable, and remarkably idiosyncratic, novel."
