Latin Literature Tournament - Round 1
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda under the cut!
Lucretius Propaganda:
His description of atomism is pretty damn accurate for an ancient Roman poet with literally no clue what the fuck he's talking
In this house we love Epicureanism
Carmina sublimis tunc sunt peritura Lucreti / exitio terras cum dabit una dies
Petronius Propaganda
You really can't go wrong with the Cena Trimalchionis--crazy food, astrology, werewolves...there's really something for everyone
When Nero ordered him to commit suicide, through a sumptuous party about it and broke all his expensive stuff so Nero couldn't take it. Queen Shit
Part Menippean satire, part Greek novel: a genuinely Wild fucking combo that makes one of the weirdest and coolest pieces of Latin prose out there

while you were having affairs with malewife poets and beautiful milfs and failing to obtain panthers and also dying in a failed uprising against julius caesar and his economic policies. I Was Disembowelling Myself To Prove A Point.
