Persius was een Romeinse dichter die gevierd wordt om zijn zes bewaard gebleven satires. Opgeleid in Rome onder de stoïcijnse filosoof Annaeus Cornutus, weerspiegelt zijn werk een diepe betrokkenheid bij filosofische ideeën en een scherpe kritiek op maatschappelijke normen. Zijn verzen staan bekend om hun intellectuele strengheid en diepgaande verkenning van de menselijke natuur. De onderscheidende stijl van Persius biedt een unieke lens om de complexiteit van zijn tijd te onderzoeken.
Bite and wit characterize two seminal and stellar authors in the history of satirical writing, Persius (34 62 CE) and Juvenal (writing about sixty years later). The latter especially had a lasting influence on English writers of the Renaissance and succeeding centuries.
