Capitolo 71
and the tiredness of body and he/she minds in the interest of science, art and the good one
of theirs similar and the diatribe against the search of comfort and
pleasure that characterized the people of his really time, has put in the
mouth of the same _roue_ Eumolpus.
These situations have the true Horatian adapt himself/herself/themselves around them. The most serious
and systematic dissertation that Horace has given us, in his/her Satires on the
art to live, comes from the crack-brained Damasippus that has done a
failure of his/her his/her own life. In another of his/her poems, after having exposed
to the great length the weaknesses of his individual-mortals, same Horace is
a slave's convict to be incoherent to his/her passions and a victim of
the warm temperament from his really enslaved Davus. We am remembered to again of the literary ones
method of Horace in his/her Satires when we read the dramatic description of
the shipwreck in Petronius. At night blackness comes down on the
water; the small barking that contains the hero and his/her friends they are to the
the mercy of the sea; Lichas, the master of the vase is swept by the bridge
from a wave, Encolpius and his/her comrade Giton prepares him to die in each other
embraces but the tragic ends of scene with a ridiculous portrait of Eumolpus
out above of the roar of the storm a new poem that he is putting
down on an enormous piece of parchment. Petronius evidently has the same
theme to be taken what too seriously that Horace shows so often in his
Satires. The cynic, or at least the unmoral, attitude of Petronius is
still draws out a way more marked to the closing of this same passage.
Of those on the ship to bad result the degenerate Encolpiuses, Giton and
Eumolpuses that have irreparably offended Lichas escape, while the pious one
Lichas satisfies a horrible death. All this seems to make not to clarify him/it that
only ago the subject that has inevitably treated Petronius involves a
satire on contemporary society, but that the author takes a satirical or
cynical attitude toward the life.
