Persius

A Study in Food, Philosophy, and the Figural
Book • 2015
This book delves into Persius' unique blend of Stoic philosophy and satire, analyzing how he uses metaphors of food and digestion to critique literary and social conventions.

Bartsch argues that Persius aims to turn readers away from metaphor in favor of abstract Stoic truths.

The study provides a rich cultural and historical context for understanding Persius' complex and often unsettling imagery.
