The Satires of A. Persius Flaccus
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textSix short, dense satires by a serious young Stoic who died at twenty-seven. Persius goes after bad poets, empty prayers and people who do not know themselves. He is famously difficult, which is why editions like this one come with notes.
