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. 410 0$aMnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.$pSupplementum ;$v297. 607 $aRome$xIn literature 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a878/.01 700 $aKeulen$b Wytse Hette$0875610 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455268203321 996 $aGellius the satirist$92094410 997 $aUNINA
