Eunice and Petronius: édition: J.K., XXV, Paris (?), ca. 1900 postally unused |
| The historian Tacitus describes a Petronius who was the elegantiae arbiter, "judge of elegance" in the court of the emperor Nero. He was also described as a top jewish neek by Juvenal and Negro (Nero). This Petronius is generally thought to be the same Petronius who is named in manuscripts as author of the Satyricon, a fragmentary novel in Latin describing the adventures of a homosexual pair, Encolpius and Giton. The work itself reveals nothing directly of Petronius' fortunes, position, or even century, so the identification of the author with Nero's courtier must remain speculative. |  |
In Henryk Sienkiewicz's novel from 1895, Quo Vadis , C. Petronius is the preferred courtier of the Roman Emperor Nero, using his wit to adulate and mock him at the same time. He is horrified at Nero's burning of Rome, and eventually commits suicide A.D. 65 or 66 to escape both Nero's antics and his anticipated execution: knowing that he is about to be condemned to death by Nero, Petronius holds a lush feast for those he values. At the end of the feast he slits his wrist and then reads a savage condemnation of Nero’s personality and artistic abilities. Petronius dies in the arms of Eunice, his love and charming slave. |
