While Propertius's and Ovid's setting is the city and their poems show us such details of urbane Roman life as drinking parties and elaborate hair-dressing, Tibullus introduces the idyll of the countryside to the genre. Their sophisticated poems combine intense emotion with wit and irony, and celebrate the life of love and their mistresses, Propertius's Cynthia, Tibullus's Delia and Nemesis, and Ovid's Corinna.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hellenic Bookservice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55488484442491,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/6862\/0411\/files\/9781474266147.jpg?v=1749139557"},{"product_id":"tibullus-carmina","title":"Tibullus Carmina","description":"","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":55812105568635,"sku":null,"price":30.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Second-hand","offer_id":55812105601403,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/6862\/0411\/files\/9780198146377.jpg?v=1756391704"},{"product_id":"tibullus-a-commentary","title":"Tibullus : A Commentary","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe work of the Latin elegiac poet Tibullus (c. 55-19 b.c.) is characterized by an artful, witty \"\"simplicity,\"\" and it relies on repetition, ambiguity, irony, and paradox for its effect.

Living in the age of Augustus, his poems reflect Augustan ideals, but they are above all notable for their emphasis on the personal, and for their subject-matter, love. Tibullus' elegies are addressed to two different mistresses, Delia and Nemesis, and a boy, Marathus. His pious and idealistic love for Delia is replaced by a more tortured affair with the cruel Nemesis, and the poet's elegies to Marathus give a broader perspective to his treatment of the subject. Anguish and betrayal characterize Tibullus' depiction of love's changing fortunes, in poetry that is passionate, vivid, and sometimes haunting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this parallel text edition, A.
