In the Germania Tacitus provides the most-detailed extant account of the German peoples in Antiquity. This edition is one of two which claim to be the first in English for over sixty years. It contains both text and translation and a brief commentary, with an appendix of illustrations of Domitianic coins. The popular facing page translation format is perfect for the student looking for accessibility in a text which for too long has been ...

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 ...

Plutarch: Malice of Herodotos
with an introduction, translation and commentary by A. J. Bowen~
The Malice of Herodotus can perhaps best be described as the
world's earliest known book review. But it is much more than
that, for in the course of 'correcting' with considerable
vituperation what he saw as Herodotus' anti-Greek bias, Plutarch
tells us much about his own attitude to writing history. So that
together with Lucian's How to Write History (see Lucian A
Selection in this series) it forms a basic text for ...

Xenophon: Symposium
edited by A.J. Bowen
This Symposium has lived so much in the shadow of the famous one by Plato, that it has not received a full commentary in English for well over a hundred years. Yet it gives the only alternative view of Socrates and has a wit and vigour of its own ...

Dogs in Antiquity: Anubis to Cerberus: The Origins of the Domestic Dog
by Douglas J. Brewer, Sir Terence Clark and Adrian Phillips
Using new genetic research and the material from excavations, Anubis to Cerberus first examines the archaeological evidence for the origins of the dog and the process of domestication in prehistory. In historic times numerous tomb-paintings and artifacts from Egypt and the Middle East depict dogs hunting, herding, guarding and simply as pets. Dogs represented gods in Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece, and their archaeological remains have been ...

Francisco de Quevedo: Dreams and Discourses Quevedo: Dreams and Discourses
With an Introduction, Translation and Notes by R. K. Britton~
The Sueños is one of the most controversial, witty and
fantastic works of early 17th century Spanish literature. The
five Dreams minutely analyse stupidity, ignorance and evil, as
these could be found in contemporary society. The work's serious
moral intention, often masked by the author's pointed anger,
scabrous wit, wide learning, love of verbal gymnastics and
surreal flights of imaginative ...

Terence: The Eunuch
edited with translation and commentary by A.J. Brothers
When first performed, The Eunuch was a great success. Today, with its larger-than-life characters (particularly the boastful soldier Thraso and the toady Gnatho), its farcical and exaggerated humour and its vigorous action, it strikes the modern reader as the funniest and most Plautine of Terence's six comedies. It is also a play of effective and entertaining contrasts, particularly that between the two brothers Phaedria and Chaerea. Their ...
