This story was written by Micheal Posey. Sections 28-31 of Petronius’ Satryicon served as inspiration for this creative piece. Told from the viewpoint of an enslaved member of Trimalchio’s household, this account recognizes the role(s) that household members carried out to ensure that Trimalchio’s guests remained entertained and in awe of the host’s largesse.
Eheu! Towards the end of this piece, the narrator clearly recognizes that he is already tired and that the banquet has just begun.
