About this title

Synopsis

The Lydia is a bucolic monody lamenting the singer's separation from his beloved, Lydia. The new Latin text, accompanied by an English translation, offers numerous improvements against that of previous editions, while the commentary provides comprehensive textual, linguistic, and literary exegesis of the poem in its cultural context.

About the Author

Boris Kayachev

After study in Moscow, Berlin and Leeds, Boris Kayachev went on to held research fellowships in Trondheim, Dublin, Moscow, Oxford and Basel. Boris has published on a wide array of Greek and Latin poetry, but the main focus of his research has been on the Appendix Vergiliana. The present commentary on the Lydia follows on his earlier work on the Ciris (Allusion and Allegory: Studies in the Ciris, 2016; Ciris, a Poem from the Appendix Vergiliana, 2020), and will in turn be followed by a commentary on the Dirae.
