The paper deals with Petronius’ novel concerning the ephebe of Pergamon (Sat. 85 - 87) and it explores the possibility the sound sleep the young boy simulates in order to provoke the sexual avances of the old pedagogue has been inspired by the proverb non omnibus dormio quoted by Cicero. The proverb is related to an erotic context also in the episodes told by Festus, Lucilius and Plutarch thus supporting the idea that once more Petronius succeeds in giving literary form to popular stories.

Abstract
The paper deals with Petronius’ novel concerning the ephebe of Pergamon (Sat. 85 - 87) and it explores the possibility the sound sleep the young boy simulates in order to provoke the sexual avances of the old pedagogue has been inspired by the proverb non omnibus dormio quoted by Cicero. The proverb is related to an erotic context also in the episodes told by Festus, Lucilius and Plutarch thus supporting the idea that once more Petronius succeeds in giving literary form to popular stories.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
