Series No. 383 608 pages Indexes ISBN 978-0-674-99421-8 Ammianus Marcellinus Ammianus Marcellinus Volume I. History, I Books 14-19 Translated by: J. C. Rolfe Ammianus was a Greek from Antioch. He served many years as an officer in the Roman army, in Gaul and in campaigns against the Persians, and then settled in Rome, where he wrote his history of the Roman Empire (Res gestae) in Latin--enlivening his Latin style with a touch of the Greek east. The portion of the history that survives covers in wonderful detail a period of 25 years in the historian's own lifetime: the reigns of Constantius, Julian (whom he greatly admired), Jovian, Valentinian I, and Valens. Ammianus's personal experience supplements the variety of reports and archives on which he draws. His is a dramatic narrative, the scene continually shifting from Gaul to Mesopotamia, from Milan to Constantinople. He gives us skillfully crafted portraits of personalities and vivid descriptions of military operations, with all the immediacy of an eyewitness account.

Frazer Providing a grand summary of Greek myths and heroic legends, the Library is an essential account of what the Greeks believed about the origin and early history of the world and of the Hellenic people. This treasury of narratives about gods and heroes has been attributed to Apollodorus of Athens (born ca. 180 BCE), but its author probably lived in the 1st or 2nd century of our era.

Metamorphoses (The Golden Ass), I Books 1-6 Edited and translated by: J. Arthur Hanson The Metamorphoses of Apuleius, also known as The Golden Ass, is truly enchanting: a delightful romance combining realism and magic. The hero, Lucius, eager to experience the sensations of a bird, resorts to witchcraft, but an unfortunate pharmaceutical error turns him into an ass. The bulk of the novel recounts his adventures as an animal. Lucius also retails many stories he overhears, the most charming being that of Cupid and Psyche; some are as ribald as they are witty.

Arthur Hanson Series No. 453 384 pages Index ISBN 978-0-674-99498-0 Aratus See Callimachus, II, Hymns and Epigrams. Lycophron: Alexandra. Aratus: Phaenomena Archilochus See Greek Iambic Poetry: From the Seventh to the Fifth Centuries BC Aristophanes Aristophanes Volume I. Acharnians. Knights Edited and translated by: Jeffrey Henderson The general introduction that begins Volume I brings current scholarly insights to bear on the intriguing question of the comic poet as a political force. In Acharnians a small landowner, tired of the Peloponnesian War, magically arranges a personal peace treaty and demonstrates the injustice of war in a contest with the bellicose Acharnians. Also in this volume is Knights, perhaps the most biting satire of a political figure. Series No. 178 416 pages Index ISBN 978-0-674-99567-3 Volume II. Clouds. Wasps. Peace Edited and translated by: Jeffrey Henderson Socrates' ".Thinkery". is at the center of Clouds, which spoofs untraditional techniques for educating young men. Wasps satirizes Athenian enthusiasm for jury service and the law courts as well as the city's susceptibility to demagogues. And Peace, celebrating the end of hostilities between Athens and Sparta, is a rollicking attack on the war-makers. Series No. 488 624 pages Index ISBN 978-0-674-99537-6 Volume III. Birds. Lysistrata. Women at the Thesmophoria Edited and translated by: Jeffrey Henderson In Birds Aristophanes turns from the pointed political satire characteristic of earlier plays to a fantasy that soars literally into the air and creates a utopian counter-Athens, called Cloudcuckooland, ruled by birds. Lysistrata blends rambunctious comedy and an earnest call for peace. Lysistrata, our first comic heroine, organizes a panhellenic conjugal strike of young wives until their husbands end the war between Athens and Sparta. Athenian women again take center stage in Women at the Thesmophoria, this time to punish Euripides for portraying them as wicked. Parody of Euripides' plots enlivens this witty confrontation of the sexes. Series No. 179 624 pages Index ISBN 978-0-674-99587-1 Volume IV. Frogs. Assemblywomen. Wealth Edited and translated by: Jeffrey Henderson Frogswas produced in 405 BCE, shortly after the deaths of Sophocles and Euripides. Dionysus, on a journey to the underworld to retrieve Euripides, is recruited to judge a contest between the traditional Aeschylus and the modern Euripides, a contest that yields both comedy and insight on ancient literary taste. In Assemblywomen Athenian women plot to save Athens from male misgovernance. They institute a new social order in which all inequalities based on wealth, age, and beauty are eliminated--with raucously comical results. The gentle humor and straightforward morality of Wealth made it the most popular of Aristophanes' plays from classical times to the Renaissance. Here the god Wealth, cured of his blindness, is newly able to distinguish good people from bad. Series No. 180 608 pages Index ISBN 978-0-674-99596-3 Volume V. Fragments Edited and translated by: Jeffrey Henderson Over forty plays by Aristophanes were read in antiquity, of which nearly a thousand fragments survive. These provide a fuller picture of the poet's ever astonishing comic vitality and a wealth of information and insights about his world. Henderson's latest volume contains what survives from, and about, his lost plays. Each fragmentary play is prefaced by a summary. Also included in this edition are ancient reports about Aristophanes' life, works, and influence on the later comic tradition.

Guthrie Aristotle's account of the outermost sphere of the universe, the stars, the planets (including the sun and moon), the atmosphere, and the spherical earth at rest in the center of the universe is set forth in On the Heavens.

Discounting the idea, espoused in earlier cosmologies, that the sun and stars are composed of fire, he proposes another explanation for the light they emit.

Demetrius: On Style Translated by: Stephen Halliwell Translated by: W. Hamilton Fyfe Revised by: Donald A. Russell Translated by: Doreen C. Innes Translated by: W. Rhys Roberts Stephen Halliwell makes newly accessible one of the most influential and widely cited works in the history of literary theory and criticism. Aristotle's Poetics contains his treatment of Greek tragedy: its history, nature, and conventions, with details on poetic diction. This is the only edition of this central work in which readers can find, side by side, a reliable Greek text, a translation that is both accurate and readable, and notes that explain allusions and key ideas. Halliwell's Introduction traces the work's debt to earlier theorists (especially Plato), its distinctive argument, and the reasons behind its enduring relevance. Also included in the volume are two central post-Aristotelian treatises on literary style: On the Sublime, a discussion of distinguished style (with illustrative passages) probably written in the 1st century CE; and On Style, a valuable guide to the Greek theory of styles that dates perhaps as early as the 2nd century BCE. For this new version of Volume XXIII of the Loeb Classical Library® Aristotle edition, Fyfe's translation of On the Sublime has been retained but judiciously revised by Donald Russell. Doreen C. Innes' fresh reading of On Style is based on the earlier translation by Roberts. The new Introductions and notes by Russell and Innes reflect today's scholarship.

About 360 he founded in Pontus a convent to which his sister and widowed mother belonged. Ordained a presbyter in 365, in 370 he succeeded Eusebius in the archbishopric of Caesarea, which included authority over all Pontus. Even today his reform of monastic life in the east is the basis of modern Greek and Slavonic monasteries. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Basil's Letters is in four volumes.

King Bede's theological works were chiefly commentaries, mostly allegorical in method, based with acknowledgment on Jerome, Augustine, Ambrose, Gregory, and others, but bearing his own personality. In another class were works on grammar and one on natural phenomena; special interest in the vexed question of Easter led him to write about the calendar and chronology. But his most admired production is his Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation. Here a clear and simple style united with descriptive powers to produce an elegant work, and the facts diligently collected from good sources make it a valuable account. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Bede's historical works is in two volumes. Historical also are his Lives of the Abbots of his monastery, the less successful accounts (in verse and prose) of Cuthbert, and the Letter (November 734) to Egbert his pupil, so important for our knowledge about the Church in Northumbria.

Mair The division of the sky into named star constellations that has come down to us is the work of Eudoxus (ca. 390-340 BCE), who codified and extended earlier Greek and Mesopotamian systems. Eudoxus's work itself has not survived, but is captured in the Phaenomena of Aratus. The first and longest part of Phaenomena is a versification of Eudoxus's treatise, giving a detailed description of the constellations and their relative positions. This naturally leads to a section on weather signs (based perhaps on Theophrastus's Concerning Weather Signs). Aratus's poem was among the most widely read in antiquity and was one of the few Greek poems translated into Arabic. This volume also contains the Hymns and Epigrams of Callimachus and the monodrama Alexandra attributed to Lycophron.

Hooper, Translated by Harrison Boyd Ash, Translated by A dominant political and military figure in Rome in the second century BCE, Cato was also a notable historian and preeminent orator, a constant champion of traditional Roman virtues. Only fragments of orations and of his history remain. His sole surviving work, De Agricultura, is our earliest complete Latin prose text. Here he addresses the man with money to invest, strongly recommending farming for its security and profitability. He gives instructions and advice for efficient management of labor and resources. His down-to-earth style is enlivened by folk wisdom and rustic enthusiasms. This volume also includes Varro's Res Rustica. Varro was considered the most learned Roman of his time. His Res rustica (37 BCE), however, is not a practical treatise but attractive instruction about agricultural life meant for prosperous country gentlemen. Its dialogue form, with several participants, allows for good characterization, amusing stories, and striking observations. Series No. 283 576 pages Indexes ISBN 978-0-674-99313-6 Catullus Catullus.

Rhetorical Treatises Rhetorica ad Herennium Translated by: Harry Caplan Cicero, Roman lawyer, orator, politician and philosopher, of whom we know more than of any other Roman, lived through the stirring era which saw the rise, dictatorship, and death of Julius Caesar in a tottering republic. In his political speeches especially and in his correspondence we see the excitement, tension and intrigue of politics and the part he played in the turmoil of the time. Of about 106 speeches, delivered before the Roman people or the Senate if they were political, before jurors if judicial, 58 survive (a few of them incompletely). In the fourteenth century Petrarch and other Italian humanists discovered manuscripts containing more than 900 letters of which more than 800 were written by Cicero and nearly 100 by others to him. These afford a revelation of the man all the more striking because most were not written for publication. Six rhetorical works survive and another in fragments. Philosophical works include seven extant major compositions and a number of others; and some lost. There is also poetry, some original, some as translations from the Greek. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Cicero is in twenty-nine volumes. Series No. 403 496 pages Indexes ISBN 978-0-674-99444-7 Volume II. Rhetorical Treatises On Invention. The Best Kind of Orator.

Letter to Octavian. Invectives. Handbook of Electioneering Edited and translated by: D. R. Shackleton Bailey Cicero's letters to his brother, Quintus, allow us an intimate glimpse of their world. Vividly informative too is Cicero's correspondence with Brutus dating from the spring of 43 BCE, which conveys the drama of the period following the assassination of Julius Caesar. These are now made available in a new Loeb Classical Library edition. Shackleton Bailey also provides in this volume a new text and translation of two invective speeches purportedly delivered in the Senate; these are probably anonymous ancient schoolbook exercises but have long been linked with the works of Sallust and Cicero. The Letter to Octavian, ostensibly by Cicero but probably dating from the third or fourth century CE, is included as well. Here too is the ".Handbook of Electioneering,". a guide said to be written by Quintus to his brother, an interesting treatise on Roman elections.

A panegyric on the brothers Probinus and Olybrius (consuls together in 395) was followed during ten years by other poems (mostly epics in hexameters): in praise of consulships of Honorius (395, 398, 404 CE); against the Byzantine ministers Rufinus (396) and Eutropius (399); in praise of the consulship (400) of Stilicho (Honorius's guardian, general, and minister); in praise of Stilicho's wife Serena; mixed metres on the marriage of Honorius to their daughter Maria; on the war with the rebel Gildo in Africa (398); on the consulship of Manlius Theodorus (399).

Butterworth, Translated by A key figure in early Christianity and its reaction to Hellenic culture, Clement (born probably 150 CE in Athens) had a wide knowledge of Greek literature--as his frequent quotations of Homer, Hesiod, the playwrights, and Platonic and Stoic philosophers attest. His ".Exhortation to the Greeks".--in which he calls on the Greeks to give up their gods and turn to Christ--shows familiarity with the mystery cults. Along with the ".Exhortation". this volume presents ".The Rich Man's Salvation,". a homily that offers a glimpse of Clement's public teaching.

Cohoon Dio Chrysostomus was a skilled rhetorician hostile to philosophers. Nearly all of Dio's extant Discourses (or Orations) reflect political concerns (the most important of them dealing with affairs in Bithynia and affording valuable details about conditions in Asia Minor) or moral questions (mostly written in later life; they contain much of his best writing). Some philosophical and historical works, including one on the Getae, are lost. What survives of his achievement as a whole makes him prominent in the revival of Greek literature in the last part of the first century and the first part of the second. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Dio Chrysostom is in five volumes. Series No. 257 592 pages Index ISBN 978-0-674-99283-2 Volume II. Discourses 12-30 Translated by: J. W.

Roman Antiquities, I Books 1-2 Translated by: Earnest Cary The Roman Antiquities of Dionysius of Halicarnassus began to appear in 7 BCE. Dionysius states that his objects in writing history were to please lovers of noble deeds and to repay the benefits he had enjoyed in Rome. But he wrote also to reconcile Greeks to Roman rule. Of the 20 books of Roman Antiquities (from the earliest times to 264 BCE) we have the first 9 complete; most of 10 and 11; and later extracts and an epitome of the whole. Dionysius studied the best available literary sources (mainly annalistic and other historians) and possibly some public documents. Series No. 319 608 pages Index ISBN 978-0-674-99352-5 Volume II.

Isaeus. Demosthenes. Thucydides Translated by: Stephen Usher Dionysius of Halicarnassus' purpose was to re-establish the classical Attic standards of purity, invention and taste in order to reassert the primacy of Greek as the literary language of the Mediterranean world. His critical essays on the Attic Orators and on the historian Thucydides represent an important development from the somewhat mechanical techniques of rhetorical handbooks to a more sensitive criticism of individual authors. Illustrating his analysis with well-chosen examples, Dionysius preserves a number of important fragments of Lysias and Isaeus. The essays on those two orators and on Isocrates, Demosthenes and Thucydides comprise Volume I of this edition. Series No. 465 688 pages Index ISBN 978-0-674-99512-3 Volume IX. Critical Essays, II On Literary Composition. Dinarchus.

Oldfather Like the early Stoics, Epictetus (ca 55-135 CE) taught the importance of control over one's own mind and will; since happiness must not depend on things one cannot control, the virtuous person should aspire to become independent of external circumstances. The brotherhood of man is also central to his teaching, reflecting the Stoic belief that there is a spark of divinity in everyone. Unlike his predecessors, Epictetus, who grew up as a slave, taught not for the select few but for the many and the humble. This two-volume edition contains the extant record of his lectures--in lively and informal style--as well as the Manual or Encheiridion, a summary of Epictetus's thought by the historian Arrian, a student of his.

Cyclops. Alcestis. Medea Edited and translated by: David Kovacs One of antiquity's greatest poets, Euripides (ca. 485-406 BCE) has been prized in every age for the pathos, terror, surprising plot twists, and intellectual probing of his dramatic creations. He wrote nearly ninety plays, of which eighteen have come down to us (plus a play of unknown authorship long included with his works). In this new Loeb Classical Library edition of Euripides, David Kovacs presents a freshly edited Greek text and an accurate and graceful translation with explanatory notes. Cyclops is a satyr play, the only complete example of this genre to survive. Alcestis tells the story of a woman who agrees--in order to save her husband's life--to die in his place. Medea is the quintessential tragedy of revenge: Medea kills her own children, as well as their father's new wife, to punish him for desertion. Series No. 12 432 pages ISBN 978-0-674-99560-4 Volume II. Children of Heracles. Hippolytus. Andromache. Hecuba Edited and translated by: David Kovacs Hippolytus has been judged to be one of Euripides' masterpieces. Hecuba and Andromache recreate the tragic stories of two noble Trojan women after their city's fall. Children of Heracles celebrates an incident long a source of Athenian pride: the city's protection of the sons and daughters of the dead Heracles. Series No. 484 528 pages ISBN 978-0-674-99533-8 Volume III. Suppliant Women. Electra. Heracles Edited and translated by: David Kovacs Centering on the right of proper burial for those fallen in battle, Suppliant Women reflects on war and on the rule of law. In Electra Euripides gives us his version of the famous legend of the murder of Clytaemestra by her children in revenge for her killing their father--a portrayal interestingly different from that in Sophocles' Electra. Narrating sudden reversals in the hero's fortunes, Heracles testifies to the fragility of human happiness. Series No. 9 464 pages ISBN 978-0-674-99566-6 Volume IV. Trojan Women. Iphigenia among the Taurians. Ion Edited and translated by: David Kovacs Trojan Women, a play about the causes and consequences of war, develops the theme of the tragic unpredictability of life. Iphigenia among the Taurians and Ion exhibit tragic themes and situations (the murder of close relatives); each ends happily with a joyful reunion. Series No. 10 520 pages ISBN 978-0-674-99574-1 Volume V. Helen. Phoenician Women. Orestes Edited and translated by: David Kovacs In this fifth volume of the new Loeb Classical Library Euripides, in Helen the poet employs an alternative history in which a virtuous Helen never went to Troy but spent the war years in Egypt, falsely blamed for the adulterous behavior of her divinely created double in Troy. This volume also includes Phoenician Women, Euripides' treatment of the battle between the sons of Oedipus for control of Thebes; and Orestes, a novel retelling of Orestes' lot after he murdered his mother, Clytaemestra. Each play is annotated and prefaced by a helpful introduction. Series No. 11 624 pages ISBN 978-0-674-99600-7 Volume VI. Bacchae. Iphigenia at Aulis.

Forster, Translated by Florus wrote, in brief pointed rhetorical style, a summary of Roman history (especially wars) in two books in order to show the greatness and decline of Roman morals. It is based chiefly on Livy. It was perhaps planned to reach his own times, but the extant work ends with Augustus's reign (30 BCE–14 CE).

McElwain, Translated by The two sides of Frontinus' public career are reflected in his two surviving works. 'Strategemata', Stratagems, written after 84, gives examples of military stratagems from Greek and Roman history, for the instruction of Roman officers, in three books; the fourth book is concerned largely with military discipline. 'De Aquis urbis Romae', The Aqueducts of Rome, written in 97–98, gives some historical details and a description of the aqueducts for the water supply of the city, with laws relating to them. Frontinus aimed at being useful and writes in a rather popular style which is both simple and clear.

Haines The correspondence of Fronto—a much admired orator and rhetorician who was befriended by the emperor Antoninus Pius and teacher of his adopted sons Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus—offers an invaluable picture of aristocratic life and literary culture in the 2nd century. His letters reveal Fronto's strong stylistic views and dislike of Stoicism as well as his family joys and sorrows. And they portray the successes and trials of a prominent figure in the palace, literary salons, the Senate, and lawcourts. The letters to Fronto from the emperors bring the imperial family to life.

On the Natural Faculties Translated by: A. J. Brock If the work of Hippocrates is taken as representing the foundation upon which the edifice of historical Greek medicine was reared, then the work of Galen, who lived some six hundred years later, may be looked upon as the summit of the same edifice. Galen's merit is to have crystallised or brought to a focus all the best work of the Greek medical schools which had preceded his own time. It is essentially in the form of Galenism that Greek medicine was transmitted to after ages. Series No. 71 400 pages Index, glossary ISBN 978-0-674-99078-4 Gellius Aulus Gellius Volume I. Attic Nights, I Books 1-5 Translated by: J. C. Rolfe An engaging writer of the Antonine period, Aulus Gellius was a man of wide interests and great admiration for Greek culture. His Attic Nights is a collection of absorbing short chapters about notable events, words and questions of literary style, lives of historical figures, points of law, and philosophical issues that served as instructive light reading for the cultivated Roman. The work's title derives simply from the fact that Gellius began to write these pieces during stays in Athens. Variety adds to the charm of the miscellany: the author makes use of reminiscence as a literary form, dramatizations, character sketches, dialogues, extensive quotations from other writers (many from works now lost). He was long considered a model of the perennial humanist. Series No. 195 528 pages Indexes ISBN 978-0-674-99215-3 Volume II. Attic Nights, II Books 6-13 Translated by: J. C.

Edmonds, Translated by Theocritus was the founder of bucolic or pastoral poetry. Of his so-called Idylls, 'Little forms' or pieces (not all are genuine), ten are about pastoral life real or idealised; several are small epics (three are hymns); two are beautiful 'occasional' poems (one about a country walk, one to accompany a gift of a distaff for the wife of his friend Nicias); six are love-poems; several are mimes, striking pictures of common life; and three are specially expressive of his own feelings. The 24 'Epigrams' were apparently inscribed on works of art. Moschus wrote a (lost) work on Rhodian dialect. Though he was classed as bucolic, his extant poetry (mainly 'Runaway Love' and the story of 'Europa') is not really pastoral, the 'Lament for Bion' not being Moschus's work. 'Megara' may be by Theocritus; but 'The Dead Adonis' is much later. Most of Bion's extant poems are not really bucolic, but 'Lament for Adonis' is floridly brilliant.

They are an important source of mythological record. Here is a new text and translation of the examples of this poetry that have come down to us.

The purpose of these poems is unclear, but they seem to have some connection with cult songs used in religious festivals--for example, those honoring Dionysus and Demeter. In this completely new Loeb Classical Library edition of early Greek iambic poetry, Douglas Gerber provides a faithful and fully annotated translation of the fragments that have come down to us.

Stesichorus, Ibycus, Simonides, and Others Edited and translated by: David A. Campbell The most important poets writing in Greek in the 6th century BCE came from Sicily and southern Italy. Stesichorus was called by ancient writers ".most Homeric".--a recognition of his epic themes and noble style. Ibycus, too, wrote lyrical narratives on mythological themes, and composed erotic poems as well. Simonides was successful in various genres; his work includes victory odes, dirges, and dithyrambic poetry. All the extant verse of these poets is given here, along with the ancients' accounts of their lives and works. Also in this volume are ten contemporary poets, including Arion, Lasus, and Pratinas.

Other women are here too: Myrtis, Telesilla of Argos, Charixena, and Praxilla of Sicyon. Also included are Timocreon of Rhodes, Diagoras of Melos, and Ion of Chios.

Campbell Toward the end of the fifth century BCE Aristophanes and others used contemporary poets as targets for jokes, making fun of their innovations in language and music. The dithyrambs of Melanippides, Cinesias, Phrynis, Timotheus, and Philoxenus are remarkable examples of this new style. The poets of the new school, active from the mid-5th to the mid-4th century, are presented in this final volume of David Campbell's widely praised edition of Greek lyric poetry. This volume also collects folk songs, drinking songs, and other anonymous pieces. The folk songs include children's ditties, marching songs, love songs, and snatches of cult poetry. The drinking songs are derived mainly from Athenaeus's collection of Attic scolia. Series No. 144 496 pages Index ISBN 978-0-674-99559-8 Greek Mathematical Works Greek Mathematical Works Volume I.

History of the Empire, I Books 1-4 Translated by: C. R. Whittaker The History of Herodian covers a period of the Roman empire from the death of the emperor Marcus Aurelius (180 CE) to the accession of Gordian III (238), half a century of turbulence, in which we can see the onset of the revolution. In these years, a succession of frontier crises and a disastrous lack of economic planning established a pattern of military coups and increasing cultural pluralism. Herodian's work is one of the few literary historical sources of this era that have survived, and it has come down to us completely intact. His History was apparently produced for the benefit of people in the Greek-speaking half of the Roman empire. It betrays the faults of an age when truth was distorted by rhetoric and stereotypes were a substitute for sound reason. But it is an essential document for any who would try to understand the nature of the Roman empire in an era of rapidly changing social and political institutions.

Godley Herodotus' famous history of warfare between the Greeks and the Persians has an epic dignity which enhances his delightful style. It includes the rise of the Persian power and an account of the Persian empire; a description and history of Egypt; and a long digression on the geography and customs of Scythia. Even in the later books on the attacks of the Persians against Greece there are digressions. All is most entertaining and produces a grand unity. After personal inquiry and study of hearsay and other evidence, Herodotus gives us a not uncritical estimate of the best that he could find.

S. Jones Hippocrates, said to have been born in Cos in or before 460 BCE, learned medicine and philosophy and traveled widely as a medical doctor and teacher. Of the roughly 70 medical treatises collected under his name--the Hippocratic Collection--many are not by him; even the famous Hippocratic Oath (in Volume I of the Loeb edition) may not be his. But he was undeniably the ".Father of Medicine.". And the treatises in the Hippocratic Collection are essential sources of information about the practice of medicine in antiquity and about Greek theories concerning the human body.

Odes and Epodes Edited and translated by: Niall Rudd The poetry of Horace (born 65 BCE) is richly varied, its focus moving between public and private concerns, urban and rural settings, Stoic and Epicurean thought.

The Art of Poetry Translated by: H. Rushton Fairclough In the style originated by Lucilius, Horace in his satires mocks himself as well as the world's vices and follies. The main purpose of the first book (published about 35 BCE) is to entertain; attacks on moral and literary faults frequently are directed at specific individuals, but the poet's tone is rarely abusive. The poems in the second book make playful use of dramatic presentation and humorous situations. The verse epistles, addressed to real people, seem to reveal many aspects of the poet's opinions and way of life. This volume also contains the Art of Poetry (Ars Poetica), a series of often memorably expressed maxims for the guidance of young poets, which famously set forth Horace's literary theory and critical judgments about theater as well as the poet's craft.

While he shares with Lysias the merits of a pure Attic and a lucidity of style, Isaeus is more aggressive and more flexible in his presentation; and in these respects he undoubtedly influenced Demosthenes. We learn of the existence in ancient times of at least fifty orations, but all that has come down to us are eleven speeches on legacy cases and a large fragment of a speech dealing with a claim of citizenship.

Archidamus Translated by: George Norlin The importance of Isocrates for the study of Greek civilisation of the fourth century BCE is indisputable. Isocrates wrote in gifted style essays on political questions, his main idea being a united Greece to conquer the Persian empire. Thus in his fine Panegyricus (written for the 100th Olympiad gathering in 380) he urged that the leadership should be granted to Athens, possibly in conjunction with Sparta. Twenty-one discourses by Isocrates survive; these include political essays, treatises on education and on ethics, and speeches for legal cases. Nine letters are also extant; they are concerned more with public than with private matters. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Isocrates is in three volumes. Volume I contains six discourses: To Demonicus, To Nicocles, Nicocles or The Cyprians, Panegyricus, To Philip, and Archidamus. Series No. 209 464 pages ISBN 978-0-674-99231-3 Volume II. On the Peace.

Wright, Translated by The letters of Saint Jerome are an essential source for our knowledge of Christian life in the 4th-5th centuries; they also provide insight into one of the most striking and complex personalities of the time. Jerome's loving encouragement of his friends alternates with fierce invective against his enemies. His reaction to Alaric's sack of Rome shows ambiguity similar to his guilty feelings about continually quoting pagan classics. Seven of the eighteen letters in this selection deal with a primary interest of Jerome's: the morals and proper role of women. Three of these give elaborate portraits of women in marriage; two are concerned with the education of girls; one instructs a widow on maintaining her chastity. The most famous letter here fervently extols virginity. Series No. 262 528 pages Index ISBN 978-0-674-99288-7 John Damascene Barlaam and Ioasaph G. R. Woodward, Translated by Harold Mattingly, Translated by David M. Lang, Introduction by One of the best known examples of the hagiographic novel, this is the tale of an Indian prince who becomes aware of the world's miseries, is converted to Christianity by the monk Barlaam, founds a Christian kingdom, and spends his later years as a hermit in the desert. Not until the mid-nineteenth century was it fully recognized that this Greek romance is actually the legend of the Buddha in a Christianized version. D. M. Lang's Introduction traces the parallels between the two stories, notes the influences of the Manichaean creed, and discusses the importance of Arabic versions of the legend.

Thackeray Josephus, soldier, statesman, historian, was a Jew born at Jerusalem about 37 CE. A man of high descent, he early became learned in Jewish law and Greek literature and was a Pharisee. After pleading in Rome the cause of some Jewish priests he returned to Jerusalem and in 66 tried to prevent revolt against Rome, managing for the Jews the affairs of Galilee. In the troubles which followed he made his peace with Vespasian. Present at the siege of Jerusalem by Titus, he received favours from these two as emperors and from Domitian and assumed their family name Flavius. He died after 97. As a historical source Josephus is invaluable. This volume includes the autobiographical Life and his treatise Against Apion. Series No. 186 448 pages 1 map, indexes ISBN 978-0-674-99205-4 Volume II. The Jewish War Books 1-2 Translated by: H. St. J. Thackeray The Jewish War, Josephus's eye-witness account of the revolt of 66-70 C.E. against Roman rule, recounts the outbreak of war; the campaign in Galilee--under his command--including the siege of Jotapata; the strategic isolation of Jerusalem, and finally the fall of the city to Titus and destruction of the Temple in 70; the return of the conquerors to Rome in triumphal procession; and the suicidal stand at Masada. This vivid narrative, in polished Greek style, preserves valuable sources and tells us much about Roman military tactics.

Wright Julian's surviving works, all in Greek, are given in the Loeb Classical Library in three volumes: the eight Orations (1–5 in Volume I, 6–8 in Volume II) include two in praise of Constantius, one praising Constantius's wife Eusebia, and two theosophical hymns (in prose) or declamations, of interest for studies in neo-Platonism, Mithraism, and the cult of the Magna Mater in the Roman world. Series No. 13 528 pages Index ISBN 978-0-674-99014-2 Volume II. Orations 6-8. Letters to Themistius, To the Senate and People of Athens, To a Priest. The Caesars. Misopogon Translated by: Wilmer C. Wright Julian's Misopogon (The Beard Hater) is a case of the satirist directing his sharp wit at himself: self-mockery employed to undercut the taunts of critics. When the citizens of Antioch jeered at the emperor's ".philosophical". beard, he responded with a satire on his own appearance and austere life style. A work of ironic self-disparagement, Misopogon reflects strikingly on the emperor's personality. Julian's conception of the ideal ruler emerges through the satire of The Caesars. He begins with a reference to the Saturnalia, and his treatment of the gods here is appropriate to that festival. The piece contains some echoes of Lucian's satires--but Julian is nowhere as light-hearted as Lucian. Series No. 29 528 pages Index ISBN 978-0-674-99032-6 Volume III. Letters. Epigrams.

Aetna Volume . Autobiography and Selected Letters, I Autobiography. Letters 1-50 Edited and translated by: A. F. Norman A professing pagan in an aggressively Christian empire, a friend of the emperor Julian and acquaintance of St. Basil, and a potent spokesman for private and political causes, Libanius has much to tell us about the tumultuous world of the 4th century. Born in Antioch to a wealthy family steeped in the traditions of Hellenism, Libanius rose to fame as a teacher of the classics. In his lifetime, he was an acknowledged master of the art of letter writing, and today his letters offer a vivid picture of the culture and political intrigues of the eastern empire. A. F. Norman selects an eighth of the 1,550 extant letters. The letters are complemented by Libanius's Autobiography (Oration 1), a revealing narrative that begins as a scholar's account and ends as an old man's private journal.

Duff, Translated by Julius Caesar looms as a sinister hero in this stormy chronicle in verse of the war between Caesar and the Republic's forces under Pompey, and later under Cato in Africa--a chronicle of dramatic events carrying us from Caesar's fateful crossing of the Rubicon, through the Battle of Pharsalus and death of Pompey, to Caesar victorious in Egypt. Quintilian called Lucan a poet ".full of fire and energy and a master of brilliant phrases.". His epic stood next after Virgil's in the estimation of antiquity.

With ebullient wit he mocks teachers of literature, the various philosophical schools, popular religions, historians and writers, the Olympian gods, and the foibles of mortals. In The Dream he jocularly recounts his own career. Native of Samosata on the Euphrates, Lucian traveled widely in the Roman Empire as far as Gaul. His 80 extant works (published here in 8 volumes) offer insight on the intellectual world of the second century CE along with mischievous and sophisticated entertainment.

Originally intended for his private guidance and self-admonition, the Meditations has endured as a potent expression of Stoic belief (the influence of Epictetus is apparent throughout) as well as a widely influential personal guide to the moral life.

G. Arnott Menander, the dominant figure in New Comedy, wrote over 100 plays. By the Middle Ages they had all been lost. Happily papyrus finds in Egypt during the past century have recovered one complete play, substantial portions of six others, and smaller but still interesting fragments. Geoffrey Arnott's new Loeb edition is in three volumes. Volume I contains six plays, including the only complete one extant, Dyskolos (The Peevish Fellow), which won first prize in Athens in 317 BCE, and Dis Expaton (Twice a Swindler), the original of Plautus' Two Bacchises. Series No. 132 592 pages ISBN 978-0-674-99147-7 Volume II. Heros. Theophoroumene. Karchedonios. Kitharistes. Kolax. Koneiazomenai. Leukadia. Misoumenos. Perikeiromene. Perinthia Edited and translated by: W. G. Arnott Volume II contains the surviving portions of ten Menander plays. Among these are the recently published fragments of Misoumenos (".The Man She Hated".), which sympathetically presents the flawed relationship of a soldier and a captive girl; and the surviving half of Perikeiromene (".The Girl with Her Hair Cut Short".), a comedy of mistaken identity and lovers' quarrel.

Arnott Volume III begins with Samia (The Woman from Samos), which has come down to us nearly complete. Here too are the very substantial extant portions of Sikyonioi (The Sicyonians) and Phasma (The Apparition) as well as Synaristosai (Women Lunching Together), on which Plautus's Cistellaria was based. Arnott's edition of the great Hellenistic playwright has been garnering wide praise for making these fragmentary texts more accesible, elucidating their dramatic movement.

Andocides Translated by: K. J. Maidment Of Antiphon's fifteen surviving works three concern real murder cases. The others are exercises in speech-craft consisting of three tetralogies, each tetralogy comprising four skeleton speeches: accuser's; defendant's; accuser's reply; defendant's counter-reply. Andocides' extant speeches are: 'On His Return' (a plea on his second attempt); 'On the Mysteries' (a selfdefence); 'On the Peace with Sparta'. The speech 'Against Alcibiades' (the notorious politician) is suspect. Series No. 308 608 pages Index ISBN 978-0-674-99340-2 Volume II. Lycurgus. Dinarchus. Demades. Hyperides Translated by: J. O. Burtt This volume collects speeches by four orators involved in Athens' ill-fated resistance to the Philip and Macedonian juggernaut. Lycurgus, a highly regarded administrator of the city's financial affairs, was with Demosthenes in the anti-Macedon faction; Athens refused to surrender him to Alexander the Great. Hyperides, the wittiest of the Attic orators, was also hostile to Philip and led Athens' patriots after 325. Dinarchus, on the other hand, favored an oligarchy under Macedonian control and assailed Demosthenes. Demades too supported the Macedonian cause. The collection offers yet another window on this tumultuous period. Series No. 395 640 pages Indexes ISBN 978-0-674-99434-8 Minor Latin Poets Minor Latin Poets Volume I. Publilius Syrus.

Dionysiaca, I Books 1-15 Translated by: W. H. D. Rouse In the 5th century CE, Nonnos of Panopolis in Egypt produced this epic recounting the earthly career of Dionysus from his birth at Thebes to his reception on Olympus. Nonnos tells of the god's role as a conqueror of the East, notably his invasion of India, and also describes his amorous adventures in a sensual and explicit style. The poem is full of mythological, magical, and astrological lore; and its portrayal of Dionysiac frenzy seems to reflect religious awe. Series No. 344 576 pages ISBN 978-0-674-99379-2 Volume II.

Mair, Translated by Oppian's Fishing deals with the habits and characteristics of fish as well as giving instructions for fishing: if not exactly poetical, it contains a great deal of curious information. The Chase is an inferior composition and may even be the work of a Syrian imitator. This volume also includes the extant work of two epic poets of Egypt. The Rape of Helen of Colluthus is a pleasant account of the Judgement of Paris and Helen's elopement with him; Tryphiodorus deals with The Taking of Troy, beginning with the Wooden Horse and ending with the sacrifice of Polyxena.

Goold The faithful Penelope, the forgiving Briseis, the reproachful Dido, the impassioned Medea--a procession of legendary women express their emotions and narrate their memories in the fictional letters to absent husbands and lovers that constitute Ovid's Heroides (Heroines). The moods and situations of these heroines vary widely, but their soliloquies are all dramatic. Six of the poems form exchanges, including an entertaining correspondence between Paris and Helen, and an exchange between Hero and Leander which immortalized their story. This volume also contains Ovid's Amores, three books of elegies ostensibly about the poet's love affair with his mistress Corinna (recalling the elegies of Propertius that revolve around Cynthia).

Goold ".The Art of Love". is a vivaciously witty poem on the art of seduction, with illustrative stories interwoven. Ovid tells men how to find a suitable mistress, how to win her and retain her affections; he goes on to instruct women on the art of captivating and retaining a lover. These lessons are cleverly reversed in ".Remedies for Love,". in which the poet gives directions for falling out of love. This volume also contains ".Cosmetics,". ".Ibis,". and three poems now judged not to be by Ovid. Mozley's edition has been revised and updated by G. P. Goold. Series No. 232 400 pages Indexes ISBN 978-0-674-99255-9 Volume III. Metamorphoses Books 1-8 Translated by: Frank Justus Miller Revised by: G. P. Goold In the Metamophoses Ovid retells in one poetic whole an enormous range of stories of classical mythology. Connected by the theme of miraculous change (hence the title), the narratives pass in review, from the dawn of creation down to the transfiguration of Caesar's soul into a star. Each important myth is touched upon and ingeniously linked to the next as the poet progresses through his historical account. Ovid's most influential work is here given a fluent prose translation.

Goold Ovid's splendid poem on the Roman calendar is an invaluable source of information about religious practices: it sets forth for us explanations of the festivals and sacred rites that were noted on the calendar. Here we see, among many others, the Festival of the Dead; the strange fertility rites of the Lupercalia; the merry revels of Midsummer Eve; the casting of effigies into Father Tiber. The poet also relates in graphic detail the legends attached to specific dates. This edition of Fasti offers unusually rich notes and appended commentary as well as J. G.

Apocolocyntosis Michael Heseltine, Translated by W. H. D. Rouse, Translated by E. H. Warmington, Revised by Petronius's picaresque novel (probably written during Nero's reign) presents in lurid detail the disreputable travels and adventures of Encolpius, a swashbuckling young coward lacking both morals and income. It has been called a kaleidoscope picture of literature, lust, and life. Perhaps best known are the chapters describing Trimalchio's wildly extravagant dinner party with rambunctious entertainment. For the revised edition, Warmington debowdlerized Heseltine's translation and expanded the explanatory notes. This volume also contains Apocolocyntosis, the satire on the death and apotheosis (".pumpkinification".) of the emperor Claudius which is attributed to Seneca.

To an elder Philostratus is attributed the series of 65 'Eikones' or 'Imagines', descriptions (in two books) ostensibly of paintings in a gallery at Naples. A younger Philostratus is credited with 17 similar descriptions. The 14 'Ekphraseis' attributed to Callistratus are descriptions of statues in stone or bronze. It is not known to what extent the descriptions are of real works of art, but they show how artists treated their subjects, and are written with some artistic knowledge. Yet rhetorical skill dominates: these pieces were written to display the writers' powers of description.

Olympian Odes. Pythian Odes Edited and translated by: William H. Race William H. Race gives us, in two volumes, a new edition and translation of Pindar's four books of victory odes, along with surviving fragments of his other poems. Brief introductions to each ode and full explanatory footnotes afford invaluable guidance throughout. Like Simonides and Bacchylides, Pindar wrote elaborate odes in honor of prize-winning athletes. His 45 victory odes celebrate triumphs in athletic contests at the four great Panhellenic festivals: the Olympic, Pythian (at Delphi), Nemean, and Isthmian games. In these poems, Pindar commemorates the achievement of athletes and powerful rulers against the backdrop of divine favor, human failure, heroic legend, and the moral ideals of aristocratic Greek society. Readers have long savored their rich poetic imagery, moral maxims, and vivid portrayals of sacred myths. Series No. 56 400 pages ISBN 978-0-674-99564-2 Volume II. Nemean Odes. Isthmian Odes. Fragments Edited and translated by: William H. Race Pindar's forty-five victory odes celebrate triumphs in athletic contests at the four great Panhellenic festivals: the Olympic, Pythian (at Delphi), Nemean, and Isthmian games. In these complex poems, Pindar commemorates the achievement of athletes and powerful rulers against the backdrop of divine favor, human failure, heroic legend, and the moral ideals of aristocratic Greek society.

Epinomis Translated by: W. R. M. Lamb In Plato's Laches, Charmides, and Lysis, Socrates and others discuss separate ethical conceptions. Protagoras, Ion, and Meno discuss whether righteousness can be taught. In Gorgias, Socrates is estranged from his city's thought, and his fate is impending. The Apology (not a dialogue), Crito, Euthyphro, and the unforgettable Phaedo relate the trial and death of Socrates and propound the immortality of the soul. In the famous Symposium and Phaedrus, written when Socrates was still alive, we find the origin and meaning of love. Cratylus discusses the nature of language. The great masterpiece in ten books, the Republic, concerns righteousness (and involves education, equality of the sexes, the structure of society, and abolition of slavery). Of the six so-called dialectical dialogues Euthydemus deals with philosophy; metaphysical Parmenides is about general concepts and absolute being; Theaetetus reasons about the theory of knowledge. Of its sequels, Sophist deals with not-being; Politicus with good and bad statesmanship and governments; Philebus with what is good. The Timaeus seeks the origin of the visible universe out of abstract geometrical elements. The unfinished Critias treats of lost Atlantis. Unfinished also is Plato's last work of the twelve books of Laws (Socrates is absent from it), a critical discussion of principles of law which Plato thought the Greeks might accept.

This highly successful playwright transformed the mild-mannered Greek New Comedy written more than a century earlier into a more playful and ribald style.

Solon and Publicola Translated by: Bernadotte Perrin Most popular of Plutarch's writings have always been the 46 Parallel Lives, biographies planned to be ethical examples in pairs (in each pair, one Greek figure and one similar Roman). The irresistably humane Lives give not merely a record of careers and illustrious deeds but rounded portraits of statesmen, orators, and military leaders. For, Plutarch says: ".It is not Histories I am writing, but Lives".; the virtues (or vices) and character of his subjects is what he seeks ".and by means of these to portray the life of each.".

The last records statements about the role of women as mothers and expressions of Spartan values--these are women reproducing the values of their culture.

The whole consists largely of military history, with much information about peoples and places as well, and about special events.

Dewing The most famous woman of late antiquity, the empress Theodora, is portrayed with a very sharp pen in Procopius' Secret History. The 6th century historian here sets out to tell ".what manner of persons Justinian and Theodora were and the method by which they ruined the Roman Empire".--in an account that he apparently meant to publish after their deaths. He tells of Theodora's early years as a stage performer and prostitute; the duplicitous means and intrigue she employed to achieve her goals when in power; her cruelty and spite, vanity and pride. Not a fair and balanced picture perhaps, but a striking and vivid one. Series No. 290 416 pages 2 maps, index ISBN 978-0-674-99320-4 Volume VII. On Buildings. General Index Translated by: H. B.

Goold, Edited and translated by The passionate and dramatic elegies of Propertius gained him a reputation as one of Rome's finest love poets. Here he portrays the uneven course of his love affair with Cynthia and also tells us much about the society of his time. And in later poems he turns to the legends of ancient Rome. G. P.

J. Thomson Prudentius has been called ".the father of Christian allegory.". Born in 348, Prudentius achieved distinction in government administration but retired in later life to write devotional poetry, becoming the first to use the classical Latin verse forms with complete success in the service of the new faith. His lyrical poetry includes Hymns for the Day, a cycle of twelve hymns for various times of the day, parts of which are still found in modern hymnals. Prudentius also wrote two long didactic poems: Apotheosis, on the doctrine of the Trinity; and Hamartigenia (Origin of Sin), which attacks the Gnostic theologian Marcion. The Loeb edition includes, as well, his Psychomachia, an allegorical description of the struggle between (Christian) virtues and (pagan) vices; Contra Symmachum, a polemic against paganism based on the events of the year 384. Series No. 387 432 pages ISBN 978-0-674-99426-3 Volume II. Against Symmachus 2. Crowns of Martyrdom. Scenes From History. Epilogue Translated by: H. J. Thomson Prudentius' lyrical poetry includes Crowns of Martyrdom, fourteen long poems celebrating the lives of martyrs, including ".The Passion of Agnes.". This volume also holds Contra Symmachum, a polemic against paganism based on the events of the year 384; and a series of 49 poems describing biblical scenes depicted in wall paintings on a Roman church--a valuable source on Christian iconography.

Robbins, Translated by In this treatise by the preeminent ancient astronomer, knowledge of the movement of the sun, moon, stars, and planets (studied in Ptolemy's Almagest) is put to practical use: making predictions about individuals' lives and the outcome of human affairs.

Aetna Quintilian The Orator's Education Volume I. Books 1-2 Edited and translated by: Donald A. Russell Quintilian was born in Spain about 35 CE; he became a well-known and prosperous teacher of rhetoric in Rome, probably the first to receive a salary as such from public funds. His Institutio Oratoria (Training of an Orator), a comprehensive training program in twelve books, draws on his own rich experience. Here Quintilian gives guidelines for proper schooling (beginning with the young boy); analyzes the structure of speeches and recommends devices for engaging listeners and appealing to their emotions; reviews a wide range of Greek and Latin authors of use to the orator; and counsels on memory, delivery, and gestures. This practical guide, in lucid style, provides valuable insight on Roman education. The work also yields many a memorable comment on the styles of various writers.

History of Alexander, I Books 1-5 Translated by: J. C. Rolfe This biography, written in Latin in the 1st or 2nd century CE, is one of the five extant works on which we depend for the career of Alexander the Great.

".I copy more than I believe,". he says; but he does not invent (except in reporting speeches), and this is a substantive and firmly based account.

Way, Translated by Quintus' work is a bold and generally underrated attempt in Homer's style to complete the story of Troy from the point at which the Iliad closes. Quintus tells us the stories of Penthesilea, the Amazonian queen; Memnon, leader of the Ethiopians; the death of Achilles; the contest for Achilles' arms between Ajax and Odysseus; the arrival of Philoctetes; and the making of the Wooden Horse. The poem ends with the departure of the Greeks and the great storm which by the wrath of heaven shattered their fleet.

Warmington Lucilius, the ".father". of Roman satire, was born probably in 180 BCE to a family of senatorial status. Almost everything became a subject of his satiric verse: politics, correspondence, a journey, social life and its problems, literary and dramatic criticism, even spelling. In the surviving 1300 lines of his work a conversational style predominates, a tone that reappears in more refined language in Horace's satire.

Poetry Translated by: Denys L. Page The papyri found in Egypt have yielded fragments large and small of ancient literary authors. We include in this volume from the 5th–4th centuries BCE fragments of two tragedies (one a satyr play by Aeschylus); of five by Sophocles; of ten by Euripides; of one by Ion; and of some plays not assignable. From Old Comedy, 5th century, we have fragments of one play each of Epicharmus, Cratinus, Pherecrates, Eupolis, and Plato; some fragments of Aristophanes; and unassignable fragments. From Middle Comedy and New Comedy, 4th and 3rd centuries, are twenty-six items including at least three by Menander and one each by Philemon, Timocles, and Straton. From mimes there are a fragment of Sophron and six unassignable, including 112 lines of clownish doings by the Indian Ocean.

There are seventeen examples of elegiac and iambic, 7th century BCE–3rd CE, including some Mimnermus, Amyntas, Leonidas, Antipater of Sidon, and Posidippus.

Moral Essays I De Providentia. De Constantia. De Ira. De Clementia Translated by: John W. Basore Seneca's Stoic philosophy is captured in his Moral Essays. On Providence (which tries to answer the question: why, if god is omnipotent, do good people suffer), On Constancy (on Stoic self-sufficiency), On Anger, and On Clemency (addressed to the emperor Nero) are included in the first of this three-volume edition.

Gummere Probably the most attractive of Seneca's works is this collection of 124 Epistles or Letters to Lucilius. Here Seneca writes occasionally about technical problems of philosophy, but more often in a relaxed style about moral and ethical questions, relating them to personal experiences: visits to gladiatorial shows and seaside resorts, the rigors of travel, the loss of friends, and the like. The reader is thus transported to the first century Roman scene while sampling the Stoic philosopher's thoughts about the good life. Series No. 75 496 pages Index ISBN 978-0-674-99084-5 Volume V.

Corcoran Most of Seneca's Naturales Quaestiones is given over to celestial phenomena. Book 1 discusses ".lights". or fires in the atmosphere; 2, lightning and thunder; Book 3 concerns bodies of water. Seneca's method is to survey the theories of major authorities on the subject at hand and his work is therefore a rewarding guide to Greek and Roman thinking about the heavens.

Fitch Here is the first of a new two-volume edition of Seneca's tragedies, with a fully annotated translation facing the Latin text. Seneca's plays depict intense passions and interactions in an appropriately strong rhetoric. Their perspective is much bleaker than that of his prose writings. In this new translation John Fitch conveys the force of Seneca's dramatic language and the lyric quality of his choral odes. Series No. 62 560 pages ISBN 978-0-674-99602-1 Volume IX. Tragedies II Oedipus. Agamemnon. Thyestes. Hercules on Oeta. Octavia Edited and translated by: John G. Fitch Seneca is a figure of first importance in both Roman politics and literature: a leading adviser to Nero who attempted to restrain the emperor's megalomania; a prolific moral philosopher; and the author of verse tragedies that strongly influenced Shakespeare and other Renaissance dramatists. This volume completes the Loeb Classical Library's new two-volume edition of Seneca's tragedies.

Controversiae, Books 1-6 Translated by: Michael Winterbottom Lucius Annaeus Seneca, father of the distinguished philosopher, collected together ten books devoted to controversiae (some only preserved in excerpt) and at least one (surviving) of suasoriae. These books contained his memories of the famous rhetorical teachers and practitioners of his day: their lines of argument, their methods of approach, their idiosyncrasies, and above all their epigrams. The extracts from the declaimers, though scrappy, throw invaluable light on the influences that coloured the styles of most pagan (and many Christian) writers of the Empire. Unity is provided by Seneca's own contribution, the lively prefaces, engaging anecdote about speakers, writers and politicians, and brisk criticism of declamatory excess.

Bury Sextus Empiricus's three surviving works are 'Outlines of Pyrrhonism' (three books on the practical and ethical scepticism of Pyrrho of Elis, ca. 360–275 BCE, as developed later, presenting also a case against the Dogmatists); 'Against the Dogmatists'; and 'Against the Professors'. These two latter works might be called a general criticism of professors of all arts and sciences. Sextus's work is a valuable source for the history of thought especially because of his development and formulation of former sceptic doctrines. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Sextus Empiricus is in four volumes. Series No. 273 560 pages ISBN 978-0-674-99301-3 Volume II. Against Logicians Translated by: R. G.

Duff Silius' epic Punica, in 17 books, on the second War with Carthage (218–202 BCE), is based for facts largely on Livy's account. Conceived as a contrast between two great nations (and their supporting gods), championed by the two great heroes Scipio and Hannibal, his poem is written in pure Latin and smooth verse filled throughout with echoes of Virgil above all (and other poets); it exploits with easy grace, but little genius, all the devices and techniques of traditional Latin epic. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Silius Italicus is in two volumes. Series No. 277 464 pages ISBN 978-0-674-99305-1 Volume II. Punica, II Books 9-17 Translated by: J. D.

Fragments Edited and translated by: Hugh Lloyd-Jones Sophocles, by common consent one of the world's greatest poets, wrote more than 120 plays. Only seven of these survive complete, but we have a wealth of fragments, from which much can be learned about Sophocles' language and dramatic art. This volume presents, in Greek and facing English translation, a collection of all the major fragments, ranging in length from two lines to a very substantial portion of the satyr play The Searchers. Prefatory notes provide frameworks for the fragments of the known plays. Among the lost plays of which we have large fragments, The Searchers shows the god Hermes, soon after his birth, playing an amusing trick on his brother Apollo; Inachus portrays Zeus coming to Argos to seduce Io, the daughter of its king; and Niobe tells how Apollo and his sister Artemis punish Niobe for a slight upon their mother by killing her twelve children. Throughout the volume, as in the extant plays, we see Sophocles drawing his subjects from heroic legend. Series No. 483 448 pages Index ISBN 978-0-674-99532-1 Sophron See Characters. Herodas: Mimes.

Shackleton Bailey Statius' Silvae, thirty-two occasional poems, were written probably between 89 and 96 CE Here the poet congratulates friends, consoles mourners, offers thanks, admires a monument or artistic object, describes a memorable scene. The verse is light in touch, with a distinct picture quality. Statius gives us in these impromptu poems clear images of Domitian's Rome. D. R. Shackleton Bailey's new edition of the Silvae, a freshly edited Latin text facing a graceful translation, replaces the earlier Loeb Classical Library edition with translation by J. H. Mozley.

The discussion, relaxed and urbane, is concerned with eloquence in both political and lawcourt speeches. This work by Tacitus has a distinctly Ciceronian air.

The Eunuch Edited and translated by: John Barsby Terence came to Rome from North Africa as a slave in the household of a senator who freed him. His six plays (all of them extant), first performed in the 160s BCE in Rome, were all based on New Comedy models--like other Roman comedies of the time. In contrast to the exuberance and buffoonery of Plautus, Terence gives us realistic scenes and witty, refined Latin. Volume I contains a substantial introduction and three plays: The Woman of Andros, a romantic comedy; The Self-Tormentor, which looks at contrasting father-son relationships; and The Eunuch, whose characters include the most sympathetically drawn courtesan in Roman comedy. Series No. 22 464 pages ISBN 978-0-674-99597-0 Volume II. Phormio. The Mother-in-Law. The Brothers Edited and translated by: John Barsby The other three plays are in Volume II: Phormio, a comedy of intrigue with an engaging trickster; The Mother-in-Law, unique among Terence's plays in that the female characters are the admirable ones; and The Brothers, which explores contrasting approaches to parental education of sons.

Rendall, Translated by Tertullianus founded a Christian Latin language and literature to unite the demands of the Bible with the practice of the Church and to continue to vindicate the Church's possession of the true doctrine in the face of unbelievers, Jews, Gnostics, and others. In some of his many works he defended Christianity, in others he attacked heretical people and beliefs; in others he dealt with morals. In this volume we present Apologeticus and De Spectaculis. Of Minucius, an early Christian writer of unknown date, we have only Octavius, a vigorous and readable debate between an unbeliever and a Christian friend of Minucius, Octavius Ianuarius, a lawyer sitting on the seashore at Ostia. Minucius himself acts as presiding judge. Octavius wins the argument. The whole work presents a picture of social and religious conditions in Rome, apparently about the end of the second century.

Herodas: Mimes. Sophron and Other Mime Fragments Jeffrey Rusten, Edited and translated by I. C. Cunningham, Edited and translated by This volume collects important examples of Greek literary portraiture. The Characters of Theophrastus consists of thirty fictional sketches of men who are each dominated by a single fault, such as arrogance, boorishness, or superstition. The Hellenistic poet Herodas wrote Mimes, a popular entertainment in which one actor or a small group portrayed a situation from everyday life, concentrating on depiction of character rather than on plot. The volume also includes a new translation and text of extant portions of the mimes of Sophron. Here too is a selection of anonymous mime fragments.

History of the Peloponnesian War, I Books 1-2 Translated by: C. F. Smith Thucydides began composing his famous history during his twenty-year exile. The war he described was really three conflicts with one uncertain peace after the first; and Thucydides had not unified them into one account when death came sometime before 396. His history of the first conflict was nearly complete; Thucydides was still at work on this when the war spread to Sicily and into a conflict likewise complete in his record, though not fitted into the whole. Although his work was left unfinished and as a whole unrevised, in brilliance of description and depth of insight this history has no superior.

H. Mozley, Translated by Valerius Flaccus composed in smooth and sometimes obscure style an incomplete epic Argonautica in eight books, on the Quest for the Golden Fleece. The poem is typical of his age, being a free re-handling of the story already told by Apollonius Rhodius, to whom he is superior in arrangement, vividness, and description of character. Valerius's poem shows much imitation of the language and thought of Virgil, and much learning. The long series of adventures and various Roman allusions suggest that the poet meant to do honour to Vespasian (to whom the epic is dedicated) with special reference to that emperor's ships in waters around Britain.

Shackleton Bailey Valerius Maximus compiled his handbook of notable deeds and sayings during the reign of Tiberius (14-37 CE). D. R. Shackleton Bailey's is the first modern English translation. Valerius arranges his instructive examples in short chapters, each focused on a particular virtue, vice, religious practice, or traditional custom--including Omens, Dreams, Anger, Cruelty, Bravery, Fidelity, Gratitude, Friendship, Parental Love. The moral undercurrent of this collection is readily apparent. But Valerius tells us that the book's purpose is practical: he decided to select worthwhile material from famous writers so that people looking for illustrative examples might be spared the trouble of research. Whatever the author's intention, his book is an interesting source of information on Roman attitudes toward religion and moral values in the first century. Series No. 492 560 pages ISBN 978-0-674-99541-3 Volume II. Memorable Doings and Sayings, II Books 6-9 Edited and translated by: D. R.

On the Latin Language, I Books 5-7 Translated by: Roland G. Kent Of Varro's more than seventy works involving hundreds of volumes we have only his treatise On Agriculture (in Loeb number 283) and part of his monumental achievement De Lingua Latina, On the Latin Language, a work typical of its author's interest not only in antiquarian matters but also in the collection of scientific facts. Originally it consisted of twenty-five books in three parts: etymology of Latin words (books 1–7); their inflexions and other changes (books 8–13); and syntax (books 14–25). Of the whole work survive (somewhat imperfectly) books 5 to 10. These are from the section (books 4–6) which applied etymology to words of time and place and t0 poetic expressions; the section (books 7–9) on analogy as it occurs in word formation; and the section (books 10–12) which applied analogy to word derivation. Varro's work contains much that is of very great value to the study of the Latin language. The Loeb Classical Library edition of On the Latin Language is in two volumes.

Shipley, Translated by Velleius Paterculus wrote in two books 'Roman Histories', a summary of Roman history from the fall of Troy to 29 CE. As he approached his own times he becomes much fuller in his treatment, especially between the death of Caesar in 44 BCE and that of Augustus in 14 CE. His work has useful concise essays on Roman colonies and provinces and some effective compressed portrayals of characters. In his 76th year (13–14 CE) the emperor Augustus wrote a dignified account of his public life, Res Gestae Divi Augusti, and work of which the best preserved copy (with a Greek translation) was engraved by the Galatians on the walls of the temple of Augustus at Ancyra (Ankara). It is a unique document giving short details of his public offices and honours; his benefactions to the empire, to the people, and to the soldiers; and his services as a soldier and as an administrator.

On Architecture, I Books 1-5 Translated by: Frank Granger Vitruvius' classic work on architecture is the only book of its kind to survive antiquity. Vitruvius was himself an architect and engineer, but this is not a handbook for professionals; rather it serves readers who want to understand architecture. Book 1 discusses town planning and architecture in general; Book 2, building materials; 3 and 4, temples and the architectural orders; 5, other civic buildings. In his preface Vitruvius takes note of the ".eminent dignity". of the public buildings Augustus constructed, which express ".the majesty of the empire.".

John Dillery has corrected the Greek text in accordance with current scholarship, revised Brownson's translation, supplied updated notes, and provided a new Introduction. Xenophon's Anabasis is an engrossing tale of remarkable adventures, as the Greeks retreated through inhospitable lands from the gates of Babylon back to the coast after Cyrus's death. It is also an invaluable source on Greek military forces. Series No. 90 672 pages 1 map, index ISBN 978-0-674-99101-9 Volume IV. Memorabilia. Oeconomicus. Symposium. Apology Translated by: E. C. Marchant Translated by: O. J. Todd Xenophon's Oeconomicus is cast in the form of a Socratic dialogue, in which the philosopher--somewhat incongruously--delivers advice about household management, speaking through Ischomachus, a landowner whose views he purports to be relaying. Ischomachus is said to have told Socrates how he discussed household management with this wife, and how success came from piety and honesty but also from keeping fit by riding and running around his farm. Ischomachus's long-suffering wife is the most arresting figure in Xenophon's gallery of women. Series No. 168 704 pages Indexes ISBN 978-0-674-99186-6 Volume V.

These eight books are collected in the last of the seven volumes of the Loeb Classical Library edition of Xenophon.
