The Complete Elegies of Sextus Propertius - The Lockert Library of Poetry in Translation
Propertius
The Roman poet Propertius is best known as the writer who perfected the Latin love elegy. A contemporary of Virgil and Horace, Propertius has influenced scores of poets - from Ovid to Housman to Pound. This work contains poems that pay tribute to Cynthia, Propertius's romantic obsession, but the scope of these 107 elegies is broad.
