Satyricon

The setting was the Satyricon, a small, dimly lit nightclub in Portland, Oregon.

In the following year the second part of the Satyricon appeared in Paris.

Burton is here referrng to the Euphormionis Lusinini Satyricon, published anno 1617.

At a somewhat later stage we have, not merely plebeian, but also provincial Latin represented in the Satyricon of Petronius.

During this period, Petronius gave vent to his indignation, in the satire transmitted under his name by the title of Satyricon.

The Satyricon of Petronius is one of the most curious productions in the Latin language.
