JUVENAL A HERO TO THE LOWER CLASS
By Shaia Palmer, Jack Kahrs, Billy Russell, and Nick Shooshan
Life Born approximately 50 A.D in
Aquinum. Lived under emperors such as
Vespasian, Domitian, and possibly Hadrian.
Lived in the city of Rome for most of his life.
Died around 127 A.D under the reign of Hadrian, though not entirely sure.
Style Inherited satire as a literary genre from
predecessors like Lucilius and Horace but produced his own outstanding form.
His training in rhetoric led to exaggeration, biting epigrams, and quotable phrases, but he was very sincere in all that he wrote.
Possibly a student of Quintilian. Mainly wrote in Dactylic Hexameter.
Juvenal- Panem et Circenses (Satire 10) - Latin
...sed quid turba Remi? Sequitur fortunam, ut simper. Et odit
damnatos. Idem populus, si Nortia Tusco favisset, si oppressa foret secura senectus principis, hac ipsa Sejanum diceret hora
Augustum. Jam pridem, ex quo suffragia nulli vendimus, effudit curas; nam qui dabat olim
imperium, fasces, legions, omni, nunc se continet atque duas tantum res anxius optat,
panem et circenses.
Latin
Juvenal- Panem et Circenses (Satire 10) - English
…But what about the crowd of Remus? It follows fortune as always, and hates the conquered. The same people, if the goddess of fortune, Nortia, had favored Sejanus, if the unaware old age of the leader Tiberius was put down, then the people might say in this hour that Sejanus is emperor. Now for a long time, and from whom we sell votes to no one, the people have abandoned care. For the people who once gave leadership, bundles, legions, everything, now hold themselves together anxiously for two things: bread and entertainment.

Modern English Poem: Panem et Circenses What about the people of Rome? They enjoy their fortune and being
left alone. As Tiberius ages and will soon
approach death,Sejanus, favored by Nortia, will be
the only heir left. Would embrace him as emperor, Lacking the ability to control their
future.The people anxiously wanting to
avoid containment, Now rely on unity through bread
and entertainment.

Juvenal- mens sana in corpere sano (Satire 10) - Latin
Nil ergo optabunt homines? Si consilium vis,permittes ipsis expendere numinibus quid conveniat nobis rebusque sit utile nostris;
nam pro iucundis aptissima quaeque dabunt di.Carior est illis homo quam sibi. Nos animorum
impulsu et caeca vanaque cupidine ducti coniugium petimus partumque uxoris, at illis
notum qui pueri qualisque futura sit uxor. Ut tamen exposcas aliquid voveasque sacellis
exta et candiduli divina tomacula porci, orandum est ut sit mens sana in corpere sano.
Latin
Juvenal- mens sana in corpere sano (Satire 10) - English
Therefore, will men wish for nothing? If you want advice, you will allow the spirits themselves to consider what is appropriate to us, and may be useful to us; For the gods will give before delightful things whatever is the most suitable. Man is dearer to them than to man himself. We, led by impulse of our spirits, and by blind and empty desire, seek marriage and offspring of a wife. But known to them (the gods) which boys and what kind may be a future wife. Nevertheless, so that you might pray for something so that you might pledge in the chapels the internal organs and divine sausages of the pretty white pig, it must be prayed that a sound mind may be in a sound body.
English
Modern English Poem: mens sana in corpere sano What will men desire To have before their funeral
pyre?They wish to have kids and
a wife,And to lead the perfect
married life.Except what man does not
know Is that the gods do not this
to be so.They care for man more
than man himself And would rather him wish
for perfect health.
