Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Elegies of Sextus Propertius: Translated Into English Verse, With Life of the Poet and Illustrative Notes In submitting to the public the concluding volume of his version of the Elegiac Triad of Rome, the translator may be allowed to say, without incurring the charge of magnifying his task, that the poet whose works are here reproduced presents perhaps greater difficulties than any other Roman poet. The text of the Elegies is in some places irremediably corrupt; in others lacunose; the beginnings and endings of many of the pieces, especially in the middle books, are uncertain; and in several instances the distichs have been thrown together in wild disorder, making one almost despair of satisfactory interpretation. Continental editors have attempted a good deal in the way of arrangement and elucidation, with but scant success. A really good critical edition of Propertius is still to come. Notwithstanding these drawbacks, few poets possess a greater charm, or better repay a careful study, than Propertius. As regards energy, brilliancy, and pathos, he claims a foremost place among elegiac poets; while in scholarly refinement, elegance, and archaeological research, he has few equals in Roman literature.
