Euripides: The Children of Heracles
introduction, translation and commentary by William Allan
The Children of Heracles is a powerful and challenging tragedy of exile and supplication. Driven from their homeland by Eurystheus, King of Argos, the children of Heracles flee as fugitives throughout Greece until they are granted protection in Athens. However, their acceptance as political refugees threatens to cause civil revolt among the Athenians and hostile invasion from the Argives. The self-sacrifice of Heracles' daughter ensures a victory ...

Propertius I
edited with an introduction, translation and commentary by Robert J. Baker
What was it like to be in love in Rome? Th 22 poems of Sextus Propertius' first book of elegies (publisehed in 28 B.C.) offer an answer. Defiantly un-Roman in his devotion to love for his Cynthia and to his art, Propertius writes with a strangely modern voice - passionate, wry, self-scrutinising and ironic. But it is a voice that has been shaped and controlled by a literary tradition already centries old. This revised edition of Book I provides, ...

Sallust: The War Against Jugurtha
edited with an introduction, translation and commentary by Michael Comber and Catalina Balmaceda
The Roman historian C. Sallustius Crispus, better known as Sallust, decided to write about the war against the Numidian king Jugurtha, 'because it was a long and cruel struggle in which fortune swung from side to side; and secondly, because it was then for the first time that a stand was taken against the arrogance of the nobles'. For Sallust, the Jugurthine War clearly revealed the problems of the Republic at that time. The fact that a man such ...

Euripides: Heracles
edited by Shirley A. Barlow
A new translation of one of Euripides' most neglected plays which takes as its subject the figure of Heracles and explores the nature of heroism and myth by portraying the story of the murder of his own wife and children. In treating this act the dramatist explores the boundaries of madness and Hercles' painful emergence from this state to a bitter realisation of what he has done. A further contrast is drawn between the callous gods who cause the ...

Plautus: Bacchides
with an introduction, translation and commentary by J. A. Barsby. ~
Plautus' Bacchides is one of the best and most typical of his
plays which in its treatment of character, theme and dialogue
provides an excellent introduction to Plautus. Since the
rediscovery of a passage from its Greek model, Menander's Dis
Exapaton, it is now in the fore-front of scholarly discussion as
direct comparisons can now be made of style and methods. The
line-by-line verse translation aims to reproduce ...

Joseph of Exeter: The Trojan War I-III
with an introduction, translation and commentary by A. K. Bate~
Joseph wrote his epic around the year 1180, and revised it at
the court of Henry II of England where he had obtained some sort
of post through the influence of his uncle, Baldwin, Archbishop
of Canterbury. The work is one of a series of texts in Latin and
Anglo-Norman, apparently commissioned by the King, helping to
trace back the Plantagenet line to the Trojans. It is a pendant
to the Anglo-Norman Roman de ...

Ovid: Amores II
edited with translation and commentary by Joan Booth
Ovid's three books of personal love elegies are arguably his most attractive work. In this new edition of Amores II Dr Booth offers a Latin text with parallel prose translation and on each poem or pair of poems a critical essay written especially for the reader with little or no Latin. For the more advanced scholars she also provides a traditional line by line commentary on the Latin text and a generously select apparatus criticus. Latin text ...
