Juvenal's work is already so good and this book has a TON of extremely helpful information in footnotes for the in-prose translations. Whether you actually can reasonably keep up with all of the references to mythical and/or historical details without help or are virtually ignorant of all of that stuff, there's PLENTY of supporting notes, both translations are very well and clearly translated, and like I said, Juvenal was just great at explain the quite abstract poetry in a way that isn't difficult to follow. Everyone can and should read his work (my favorite is Satire 14/XIV!) Anyway, it's also has nice collections from the 3 other satirical poets mentioned in the book title. It's great for broadening the depth of your taste in classical satirical literature! It's also free... so that's really all the reason you need anyway!
