B. Conte on Martial, a contemporary of Juvenal and author of epigrams that do much of the same work as Roman satire. Unlike other Conte essays, you can read this one in its entirety; it&#8217;s the perfect length, and it doesn&#8217;t need to jump around between authors or separate bodies of work. As usual, note anything that resonates with you, so we can discuss it in class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(2) Read and translate Martial, epigrams 1, 7, and 19 (as numbered in our Cambridge edition). The commentary by Watson &amp; Watson is very generous, even to the point of prefacing each poem with a helpful summary. Let&#8217;s see what these poems have to say, as a group, about Martial and his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(3) Download, print, and fill in <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/classics.domains.skidmore.edu\/satire\/opera\/\" target=\"_blank\">scansion drill 8<\/a>.
