The most passionate, individual, and controversial of the Latin
love elegists, Propertius in Book 3 covers a broad range of subject
matter and a vast geographical reach. After books focused on his
mistress Cynthia, he maintains his elegiac role but expands his
range to provide a lover's commentary on life, discussing luxury,
nudity, art, the empire, and the dangers of travel for profit and
war. This detailed commentary uses the text recently published in
the Oxford Classical Texts series, and sets out to build on the
richness of the material in the book by providing clear
introductions to the genres the poems explore - the Greek elegy of
Callimachus, epic, tragedy, hymn and epigram - and to topics such
as patronage, philosophy, and the images of love as slavery and as
warfare.
