Chapters 1–26
In the first passage, Encolpius is in a Greek town in Campania, perhaps Puteoli, where he is standing outside a school, railing against the Asiatic style and false taste in literature, which he blames on the prevailing system of declamatory education (1–2). XNXX After two or three days spent in separate lodgings sulking and brooding on his revenge, Encolpius sets out with sword in hand, but is disarmed by a soldier he encounters in the street (81–82). Encolpius belatedly discovers that the captain is an old enemy, Lichas of Tarentum. A date under Nero (1st century AD) is indicated by the work’s social background
