The book "The Penguin Book of Greek and Latin Lyric Verse" is a unique work that brings together the best of two traditions that are usually treated in isolation. It offers translations of Greek and Latin lyric poetry with extensive and ambitious commentary.
The verses include creations of maidens and warriors, philosophers and politicians, teenage girls worried about their birthday parties, drunks and brawlers, grumpy old men and elegant youths. Their authors write – or sing – about hopes, fears, loves, losses, triumphs, and humiliations. Each of them lived and died between 1,900 and 2,800 years ago.
The classical conception of lyric poetry, as understood by the greatest ancient poets – Sappho and Orion, Bacchylides and Catullus – combines and interacts with the modern conception of lyric as the brief, personal, emotional poetry of a human soul revealed.
This work is full of fire and life, a success of astonishing range and scholarly level.
