Iuvenalis 3. szatírája és az interlocutor Umbricius irodalmi forrásai
Iuvenal 3rd Satire and literary sources of the interlocutor Umbricius

Summary/Abstract: Satire 3 is one of the most acclaimed and most peculiar poems of Juvenal. Beside a short introduction, the satire consists of the 300-line-long monologue of the interlocutor named Umbricius, who explains why he leaves Rome for Cumae. Compared with other Juvenalian interlocutors, Umbricius is a much more complex figure: his different characteristics can be traced back to different sources and inspirations, which is also true of the whole satire, in which the effects of the epic tradition, the bucolic poetry and Martial are equally significant.
