Viac o knihe
Exploring the overlooked significance of Martial's Book of the Spectacles, this work challenges the notion of its inferiority within Classical poetry. The author highlights current scholarship, particularly by Kathleen Coleman, which re-evaluates the text's historical and literary context. The unique themes of animal fights and blood sports serve as a backdrop for a deeper examination of irony and double-entendre, reflecting Martial's complex relationship with Emperor Domitian. This translation aims to bring forth the poem's rich layers rather than engage in historical debates.
