Latin literature : an anthology : translations from Latin prose and poetry
\"This classic anthology traces the development of Latin literature from the early Republican works of Cicero and Catullus, to the writers of the Empire such as Lucan and Petronius, to the later writings of St Augustine. The selections cover comedy and epic, history and philosophy, in prose and in verse, and each passage is prefaced by an introduction to the author and his influence. The translators range across history from Alexander Pope and Lord Byron to contemporaries. The result is a broad and brilliant overview of the civilization of Rome and its Empire--an ideal introduction to Latin literature.\"-- Amazon.com.
Propertius in Love
2002
These ardent, even obsessed, poems about erotic passion are among the brightest jewels in the crown of Latin literature. Written by Propertius, Rome's greatest poet of love, who was born around 50 b.c., a contemporary of Ovid, these elegies tell of Propertius' tormented relationship with a woman he calls \"Cynthia.\" Their connection was sometimes blissful, more often agonizing, but as the poet came to recognize, it went beyond pride or shame to become the defining event of his life. Whether or not it was Propertius' explicit intention, these elegies extend our ideas of desire, and of the human condition itself.

Elegiae

Introduzione In cerca di nuove vie per la poesia elegiaca 1. Il III libro delle elegie di Properzio si era chiuso con un addio: a Cinzia, alla sua bellezza elogiata più di quanto meritasse, ai versi scritti per lei da chi, ora, si pentiva e si vergognava di aver reso famosa con la sua poesia una donna che non valeva la pena di cantare (3,24,1–8). Recuperata finalmente la ragione senza l'ausilio di fattucchiere, medici, amici, Properzio capiva di essersi reso ridicolo col suo lungo e assiduo servitium amoris e garantiva ai lettori una tenace resistenza di fronte alle suppliche e alle lacrime di Cinzia: come non prestar fede, d'altronde, a chi sulla donna celebrata sin dal primo verso del monobiblos scagliava ora le sue dirae, con una feroce previsione dell'inesorabile arrivo della vecchiaia, dei capelli bianchi che invano si sarebbe sforzata di strappare, delle rughe che ben presto le avrebbero devastato il volto? Sembra già di sentire gli stessi accenti dell'ultima produzione lirica di Orazio, in particolare quelli di Carm. 4,11 e 4,14.
