Interrelations between people and space-thing environment – erotism and buttle – in Petronius Arbiter’s “Satyricon”

This article is the investigation of interrelations between people and things in Petronius’s “Satyricon”. There is erotic component, “libido”, not only for people, but in interaction between people and things – furniture, utensil and other.Petronius interests only mobile things and drama, events with their participation. Many things in Petronius’s text are dedicated to manipulations. People and things exist in cramped living space, when it happened traumas and breakages. Many details are elements characterizing biography and psychology of persons. Numerous pages of the novel are devoted important themes of Ancient Rom culture: a body and its surface, truth and lie, appearance and essence. The thoughts by Russian thinker Vyacheslav Ivanov about mask and “drama of transfigurations” are truthful not for only Hellas, but for Ancient Rom and Petronius’s text too.The novel is the authentic source about “space-things environment” in Ancient Rom of Nero’s epoch. It is full of postmodernist anticipations with erotism and irony. Body of person feels different sensations. This material Eros is not accompaniment, but it is the major, important part of this text and its structure. So, Rom literature is more earthbound. Mythological frame is manifested less clearly, then in Hellas, but Dionysian is its important component, and Petronius is the shining example. This unique situation in Ancient epoch shall not be repeated later.
