Selections from Five Roman Poets: Catullus, Vergil, Horace, Tibullus, Ovid (Modern School Classics)

This selection of 600 lines from Catullus, Vergil, Horace, Tibullus and Ovid serves as a useful introduction of one or more of them at greater length and in greater detail. No previoius reading of Latin verse writers is assumed, and the Introduction, as well as briefly recording the lives of the authors represented is meant to help with the difficult subject of Latin metre and prosody.
