Capitolo 83
and it would be a short footstep to replace prose for him as the base of
the history, interposing here verse and there to assure variety or when
the emotions has called in play, in the moment in which lyric verses are interpolated
in the iambic account. In so the combination of different son-in-laws
than toward in the play and the prosimetrum of the satire of Menippean and of
Petronius, can be explained, and we see a possible line of come down from
comedy and this form of satire to the _Satirae_.
These various theories of the origin of the novel of Petronius--that it
you/he/she can be reported to the epic poem, to the heroic and serious novel to the
bourgeois history of adventure developed out some rhetorical exercise, to
the history of Milesian, to the prologue of comedy to the _verse-melange_ of
comedy or the mime, or to the satire of prose-poetic Menippean--it is not, of
necessity, seems to me, mutually exclusive. Its novel can be well
thought of as a parody of the serious novel, with frequent reminiscences
of the epic poem, a parody suggested to him from comedy and its prologue, from the
mimes, or from the history of cynical and short Milesian, and it threw in the form of the
Satire of Menippean; or, till now as subject-matter and realistic treatment it is
party, the suggestion is been able to directly come from the mime, and if us
you/he/she can accept the theory of some studious ones that you/they have lately studied the mime,
what it contained prose and verse, we can sometimes, be tilted
you consider this type of the literature the immediate progenitor of the novel,
also in the matter of external form, and he/she leaves out the satire of Menippean of
the line of descent. If that or the other of these explanations of
its origin recommends him to us as probable, it is interesting to note,
as we leave the subject that, till now as our present information they go, the
realistic novel seems to have been the invention of Petronius.
