VOLUME I
GALLIC WAR
Translated by H. J. Edwards
Caesar left wonderfully detailed accounts of his strategies and campaigns. The eight books collected as The Gallic War, reporting on his conquests of Gaul and two invasions of Britain, form an extraordinary source for military history and a masterful narrative. Edwards includes a descriptive appendix on the Roman army.

CIVIL WARS
Translated by A. G. Peskett
The history of the Roman Republic for the years 49-48 B.C. centers on two striking personalities: Julius Caesar and Pompey. Caesar's account of the war between them, from its outbreak to the decisive battle of Pharsalus in 48--in lucid and spare prose--is here well translated by Peskett.

CATO AND VARRO
ON AGRICULTURE
Translated by W. D. Hooper and H. B. Ash
A dominant political and military figure in Rome in the second century BC, 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.
Varro was considered the most learned Roman of his time. His Res rustica (37 BC), 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.

PERVIGILIUM VENERIS
Translated by J. W. Mackail
"An authoritative and up-to-date... text and a translation that communicates accurately and clearly the meaning of the Latin."
--Michael Roberts, New England Classical Newsletter & Journal
The previous bowdlerized edition of Catullus is completely revised and corrected here. This Second Edition restores lines that had been omitted from the Latin text for their "indecency," and provides a complete and accurate re-translation. The text of Tibullus has been emended; the text of Pervigilium Veneris has been thoroughly corrected and the translation revised.

CHARITON
CALLIRHOE
Edited and translated by G. P. Goold
Chariton's Callirhoe, subtitled "Love Story in Syracuse," is the oldest extant novel. It is a fast-paced historial romance with ageless charm. Chariton narrates the adventures of an exceptionally beautiful young bride named Callirhoe, beginning with her abduction by pirates -- adventures that take her as far as the court of the Persian king Artaxerxes and involve shipwrecks, several ardent suitors, an unwanted pregnancy, the hazards of war, and a happy ending. Animated dialogue captures dramatic situations, and the novelist takes us on picturesque travels. His skill makes us enthralled spectators of plots and counterplots, at trials and a crucifixion, inside a harem, among the admiring crowd at weddings, and at battles on land and sea.
This enchanting tale is here made available for the first time in an English translation facing the Greek text. In his Introduction G. P. Goold establishes the book's date in the first century A.D. and relates it to other ancient fiction.
"The new Loeb edition of Chariton by professor George Goold provides the best available text of Chariton and a useful translation and introduction...At a time when interest in the ancient novel is growing rapidly a Loeb of Chariton is particularly welcome. The translation is literal enough not to confuse the reader who uses it as an aid to understanding the Greek; the format of the series often appeals to students and amateur classicists who use it in this way, so this clarity is a great merit...At the same time, the translation is smooth and readable...There is a good index to the translation and introduction, and allusions are generously referenced in footnotes."

BRUTUS.ORATOR
Translated by G. L. Hendrickson and H. M. Hubbell
Brutus gives an account of the Roman tradition of public and lawcourt speeches from its beginning to what Cicero described as the polished and entertaining speeches of his own day. Along the way Cicero has interesting things to say about the influence of the speaker's audience on his style and technique. Also notable here is an autobiographical sketch.
Cicero's own very wide practical experience informs Orator, which depicts the ideal speaker. Here he details the principles of eloquent oratory and quotes instructive examples. Both works date from 46 BC and are dedicated to the author's promising young friend, Brutus, later famous in the conspiracy against Caesar.

LETTERS TO ATTICUS
4 Volumes
Translated by D.R. Shackleton Bailey
In letters to his dear friend Atticus, Cicero reveals himself as to no other of his correspondents except, perhaps, his brother. These letters, in this four-volume series, also provide a vivid picture of a momentous period in Roman history--years marked by the rise of Julius Caesar and the downfall of the Republic.
When the correspondence begins in November 68 b.c. the 38-year-old Cicero is a notable figure in Rome: a brilliant lawyer and orator, who has achieved primacy at the Roman bar and a political career that would culminate in the Consulship in 63. Over the next twenty-four years--to November 44, a year before he was put to death by the forces of Octavian and Mark Antony--Cicero wrote frequently to his friend and confidant, sharing news and discussing affairs of business and state. It is to this corpus of over 400 letters that we owe most of our information about Cicero's literary activity. And taken as a whole the letters provide a first-hand account of social and political life in Rome.
D. R. Shackleton Bailey's authoritative edition and translation of the Letters to Atticus is now added to the Loeb Classical Library (replacing an outdated edition); it is a revised version of his Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries edition, and includes many explanatory notes.

CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA
THE EXHORTATION TO THE GREEKS;THE RICH MAN'S SALVATION;
and a short fragment entitled TO THE NEWLY BAPTIZED
Translated by G. W. Butterworth
A key figure in early Christianity and its reaction to Hellenic culture, Clement (born probably A.D. 150 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.

COLUMELLA
On Agriculture
3 Volumes
Columella's Res rustica is the fullest treatment of agriculture in Latin, and here we can learn a great deal about what life in the country was like in Italy in the first century AD. Columella discusses the layout and staffing of a farm and the duties of the overseer and his wife as well as the care of barnyard animals and cultivation of vegetables, fruit trees, and grapevines. Written in stylish prose, he draws on many previous Greek, Punic, and Latin writers, including Cato and Varro, but his personal experience is paramount. Book 10, on horticulture, is written in hexameter verse.

This biography, written in Latin in the 1st or 2nd century ad, is one of the five extant works on which we depend for the career of Alexander the Great. Curtius narrates events effectively and in a lively style, giving particular attention to the development of his heroÕs character. ÒI copy more than I believe,Ó he says; but he does not invent (except in reporting speeches), and this is a substantive and firmly based account.

EPICTETUS
DISCOURSES
2 Volumes
Translated by W. A. Oldfather
Like the early Stoics, Epictetus (ca 55-135 A.D.) 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.

EURIPIDES
6 Volumes Projected
EDITED AND TRANSLATED BY DAVID KOVACS
One of antiquity's greatest poets, Euripides (ca. 485-406 B.C.) 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.
Alcestis is the story of a woman who agrees--in order to save her husband's life--to die in his place. Medea is a tragedy of revenge in which Medea kills her own children, as well as their father's new wife, to punish him for his desertion. These two plays are in Volume I (Loeb number 12) of the new edition along with Cyclops, the only complete satyr play that has survived from antiquity.
Hippolytus, one of Euripides' masterpieces, is in Volume II (Loeb number 484). It tells of the punishment that the goddess Aphrodite inflicts on a young man who refuses to worship her. Here too are Hecuba and Andromache, which recreate the tragic stories of two noble Trojan women after their city's fall; and Children of Heracles, about an incident long a source of Athenian pride: the city's protection of the sons and daughters of the dead Heracles.
Volume III (Loeb number 9) of the ongoing edition contains three plays. 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.
David Kovacs, Professor Classics at the University of Virginia, has written widely about Euripides.
"The translation ... is close to the Greek and reads fluently and well."
--Greece and Rome
"A well-executed and stimulating production."
--Classical Review
VOLUME I.
CYCLOPS. ALCESTIS. MEDEA
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.

CHILDREN OF HERACLES. HIPPOLYTUS. ANDROMACHE. HECUBA
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.

EUSEBIUS
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY
This history of the Christian Church from the ministry of Jesus to 324 is a treasury of information, especially on the Eastern centers. Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea from about 315, was the most important writer in the age of Constantine. His narrative account incorporates a chronicle of the writings and teachings of Christian thinkers, who appear both as literary figures and as witnesses to historical events.
