This is the first volume of an anthology of Latin poetry. The
two-volume anthology covers a period of four and a half centuries,
beginning with the work of the mime-writer Publilius Syrus, who
flourished ca. 45 BCE, and ending with the graphic and charming
poem of Rutilius Namatianus recording a sea voyage from Rome to
Gaul in 416 CE. A wide variety of theme gives interest to the
poems: hunting in a poem of Grattius; an inquiry into the causes of
volcanic activity by the author of "Aetna"; pastoral poems by
Calpurnius Siculus and by Nemesianus; fables by Avianus; a
collection of "Dicta," moral sayings, as if by the elder Cato;
eulogy in "Laus Pisonis"; and the legend of the "Phoenix," a poem
of the fourth century. Other poets complete the edition.
