Silver AgeIn Latin literature, the period from c. AD 18 to 133, second only to the preceding Golden Age in literary achievement. Satire was the most vigorous literary form, exemplified by Juvenal, Martial, and Petronius. Other figures included Tacitus and Suetonius in history, Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger in letter writing, and Quintilian in literary criticism. Prose was characteristically elaborate and poetical in style, and many of the best works of the period were psychologically perceptive and humanist in tone. See also Augustan Age. |

140-155) But when earth had covered this generation also -- they are called blessed spirits of the underworld by men, and, though they are of second order, yet honour attends them also -- Zeus the Father made a third generation of mortal men, a brazen race, sprung from ash-trees (4); and it was in no way equal to the silver age, but was terrible and strong. |
