Document Details : Title: La love story di Sat. 127.9 Subtitle: Encolpio, Scipione dimidiatus, e la continentia Author(s): CROTTO, Alberto Journal: Latomus Volume: 79 Issue: 4 Date: 2020 Pages: 906-920 DOI: 10.2143/LAT.79.4.3289340 Abstract : In Sat. 127.9 Petronius uses all the means to parody the famous Homeric ἱερὸς γάμος. A possible reference to a historical episode, as narrated by Livius (XXVI, 50), and the pornographic côté, both unexplored so far, sheds a new light on the impotence of Encolpius. |
