This fragmentary Roman novel follows Encolpius and his companions through a series of bizarre, erotic, and comic adventures in the Roman underworld. Mixing prose and verse, the surviving episodes feature memorable scenes including the legendary banquet of Trimalchio, a vulgar freedman who flaunts his wealth with grotesque extravagance. The work offers both outrageous satire and vivid glimpses of everyday life in the early Roman Empire. (This is an automatically generated summary.) UR - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/53321 ER -
