Abstract
- The article critiques Roman poet Juvenal's collection of satirical poems "Satires." R. G. M. Nisbet agreed that Achilles' fatal wounding is an appropriate epic theme. However, Nisbet argued that there is nothing humorous about percussus Achilles, thus proposing excussus for percussus. Alan Cameron misunderstood the passage 1. 162-4 based on his translation.
