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.Elegiac poetry, LatinTranslations into EnglishLove poetry, LatinTranslations into EnglishElectronic books.Elegiac poetry, LatinLove poetry, Latin874/.01Propertius Sextus467785Slavitt David R.1935-801716MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454789203321Propertius in love2465009UNINA
