Paperback. Condition: Good. These ardent, even obsessed, poems about erotic passion are amongst the best of Latin literature. Written by Propertius, who was born around 50 BC, a contemporary of Ovid, these elegies tell of Propertius' tormented relationship with a woman he calls Cynthia.

Soft cover. Condition: Good.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Latin poet Propertius (ca. 50-16 B.C.) is considered by many to be the greatest elegiac poet of Rome. Long neglected because of the obscurity of his thought and the vagaries of his syntax, Propertius has now emerged as a writer of compelling originality and intellectual power. In this authoritative edition of Propertius's elegies, L. Richardson, jr, makes these challenging poems both intelligible and accessible. For students of literature and history alike, Propertius offers insights into the intellectual world of Augustan Rome and Roman society. His perplexities and frustrations, his struggles with himself and with his domineering and capricious mistress Cynthia, and his exhilarations and depressions all strike a surprisingly familiar chord for the modern reader. Through an in-depth introduction and explanatory notes, Richardson strives to make the poems as readable as possible, at the same time examining the complexities and textual difficulties of the texts. Each elegy is accompanied by an introductory note providing a literary interpretation of the poem, followed by full and detailed commentary. L. Richardson, Jr., is James B. Duke Professor Emeritus of Latin in Classical Studies at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina. He is the author of numerous books and articles on classical subjects, with an emphasis on Roman archaeology and Latin poetry of the Republic.…
