Highlighting Gellius’ use of humour and irony in his portrayals of controversial celebrities such as Favorinus and Herodes Atticus, the book provides a necessary corrective to interpretations of Gellius as an uncritical philhellene or an apolitical bookworm. Distinguishing Gellius’ various literary personae (the youthful sectator, the independent researcher, the mature writer and adviser), the book uncovers the many-layered sophistication of Gellius’ self-presentation. Noting previously unrecognised allusions to literary works and contemporary events, it offers a fresh perspective on Gellius as a satirical writer, whose Roman cultural programme reflects the ambiguities and complexities of Antonine intellectual life.Mnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.Supplementum ;297.RomeIn literatureElectronic books.878/.01Keulen Wytse Hette875610MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455268203321Gellius the satirist2094410UNINA03738nam 2200553 450 991043831960332120221206182038.010.4271/R-217(CKB)4340000000240200(CaBNVSL)mat08505050(IDAMS)0b00006488765988(IEEE)8505050(MiAaPQ)EBC28983774(Au-PeEL)EBL28983774(EXLCZ)99434000000024020020181229d2000 uy engur|n|||||||||rdacontentisbdmediardacarrierFundamentals of crash sensing in automotive air bag systems /Ching-Yao Chan1st ed.Warrendale, Pa.
