Albius Tibullus was een Romeinse dichter die gevierd werd om zijn elegieën. Zijn werk, dat zich vaak richt op het plattelandsleven en persoonlijke ervaringen, wordt gekenmerkt door delicate gevoelens en een diep inzicht in menselijke emoties. Hoewel Tibullus militaire conflicten en oorlogsgeweld meed, vangt zijn poëzie zowel diepe melancholie als levensvreugde. Zijn geschriften worden gewaardeerd om hun lyrische schoonheid en elegantie, die ook vandaag de dag nog bij lezers resoneren.

Giovane amante della matura, bellissima Lesbia (alter ego della patrizia romana Clodia), Catullo (87-54 a.C.) ancor oggi famoso per l'eleganza deliziosa ed essenziale delle sue composizioni che raccontano gli alti e i bassi della sua storia d'amore. Passione, gelosia, sofferenza, rabbia, e ancora desiderio, estasi: il poeta descrive l'altalenarsi dei sentimenti sconvolti dall'incostanza della sua donna. Con uno stile essenziale e attualissimo, erede della raffinata civiltà letteraria alessandrina, Catullo ci apre una finestra emozionante sulla società romana di fine repubblica, sui suoi amori e sulla sua sensualità.
The Oxford Classical Texts, or Scriptorum Classicorum Bibliotheca Oxoniensis, are renowned for their reliability and presentation. The series consists of a text without commentary but with a brief apparatus criticus at the front of each page. There are now over 100 volumes, representing the greater part of classical Greek and Latin literature. The aim of the series remains that of including the works of all the principal classical authors. Although this has been largely accomplished, new volumes are still being published to fill the remaining gaps, and old editions are being revised in the light of recent research or replaced.
