Description

Tibullus' elegies are passionate and vivid portrayals of love's changing fortunes. Written in the age of Augustus, these poems reflect the poet's personal experiences with two mistresses, Delia and Nemesis, as well as a boy, Marathus. Anguish and betrayal characterize Tibullus' depiction of love's turbulent nature, making for haunting poetry that is both poignant and thought-provoking. This parallel text edition features A. M. Juster's eloquent translations accompanied by an introduction and notes from Robert Maltby, providing valuable insights into the poet's work in its literary and historical context. A collection of fine Roman poetry, Tibullus' elegies offer a unique glimpse into the personal and emotional lives of ancient Romans.
