Abstract

The comic traces that lead to questionings and criticism had always been part of the Roman soul. Nevertheless, literary criticism would be enforced only within the genres born from the Hellenistic influence that was growing since the fall of the Republic. It is no accident, the right of criticism, already buried by laws, was entwined with the literary evolution, and through the satiric poetry, as the Persius’ poem here analysed, it establishes a new way of literary criticism.
