If you're not pushing the poophole propaganda, what qualifies Satyricon as 'canon' of western culture?
Really...
What is the positive case for it?

It's one of two surviving Roman novels, the fragments we have are brief (after all this is the brief canon), and it's acclaimed. Whether the latter is justified or not I cannot judge as I haven't read it. Treat it as a tentative placement. But homo-eroticism isn't an immediate dealbreaker either and I'm skeptical of the claim that that is the reason it's studied. That's another thing, it seems like a book that can be studied in the first place.
