Elegies by Propertius
The passionate and dramatic elegies of Propertius (ca. 50soon after 16 BC) gained him a reputation as one of Romes finest love poets. He portrays the uneven course of his love affair with Cynthia and also tells us much about the society of his time, then in later poems turns to the legends of ancient Rome.
This translation is…lively, elegant, and scholarly… [Goold’s] text is not only independent but enterprising, a refreshing change after Fedili’s Teubner-- D. R. Shackleton Bailey * Gnomon *
G. P. Goold was William Lampson Professor of Latin Language and Literature at Yale University, and General Editor of the Loeb Classical Library (1974–1999).
