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.
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which
commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out
and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and
impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes
high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using
print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in
1936.
