Epigrams
Martialis, Marcus Valerius, (Translation), Bartsch, Shadi (Introduction), Michie, James (Translation)
Martial, the father of the epigram, was one of the brilliant provincial poets who made their literary mark on first-century Rome. HisEpigramscan be affectionate or cruel, elegiac or playful; they target every element of Roman society, from slaves to schoolmasters to, above all, the aristocratic elite. With wit and wisdom, Martial evokes not “the grandeur that was Rome,” but rather the timeless themes of urban life and society.
