Topic for Spring 2024: Latin Love Elegy
PREREQUISITES: CLAS 220 or three years of high school Latin
In this course we will read and translate selected poems by the three major Latin love poets - Tibullus, Propertius, and Ovid - plus excerpts from their literary predecessor Catullus and from Sulpicia, the only female Roman poet whose work survives at any length from antiquity. We will also consider such issues as literary self-representation, Roman concepts of love and sexuality, and the genre of erotic elegy as a form of social and political commentary in the Augustan period.
