Summary: Servicable but in dire need of revision
Comment: This Loeb Classical Library edition of Juvenal and Persius was first published in 1918 and was last revised in 1940. The translations are servicable, but this particular volume badly needs the revision that other Loeb volumes have been receiving under the skilled hand of G.P. Goold, currently general editor of the series. The translations of the Juvenal satires in the current volume have been censored where Juvenal was evidently felt by the standards of 1918 to have been too indecent (cf. II.49-50 for an example; the Latin, however, is untouched). While one can understand the reticience of the editor given his era, this censorship should really be remedied in a future revision (as it has been in the Loeb "Catullus" edited by Goold). Until then Peter Green's fine translation for Penguin contains a complete rendering which will allow the reader to judge for himself or herself whether or not to be shocked by what Juvenal says.

Rating: 5
Summary: Masterful
Comment: This translation of Juvenal is masterfully done, with both the original latin and English translation in a small and easy to carry book. Juvenal is to satire what Shakespeare was to the play.
