NONNOS
DIONYSIACA
3 Volumes
Translated by W. H. D. Rouse with notes by H. J. Rose (on mythology) and by L. R. Lind (on text criticism)
In the 5th century A.D., Nonnos of Panopolis in Egypt produced this epic recounting the earthly career of Dionysus from his birth at Thebes to his reception on Olympus. Nonnos tells of the god's role as a conqueror of the East, notably his invasion of India, and also describes his amorous adventures in a sensual and explicit style. The poem is full of mythological, magical, and astrological lore; and its portrayal of Dionysiac frenzy seems to reflect religious awe.

ART OF LOVE. COSMETICS. REMEDIES FOR LOVE. IBIS. WALNUT-TREE. SEA FISHING. CONSOLATION.
Translated by J. H. Mozley
"The Art of Love" is a vivaciously witty poem on the art of seduction, with illustrative stories interwoven. Ovid tells men how to find a suitable mistress, how to win her and retain her affections; he goes on to instruct women on the art of captivating and retaining a lover. These lessons are cleverly reversed in "Remedies for Love," in which the poet gives directions for falling out of love. This volume also contains "Cosmetics," "Ibis," and three poems now judged not to be by Ovid. Mozley's edition has been revised and updated by G. P. Goold.

Series No. 232
In the Metamophoses Ovid retells in one poetic whole an enormous range of stories of classical mythology. Connected by the theme of miraculous change (hence the title), the narratives pass in review, from the dawn of creation down to the transfiguration of CaesarÕs soul into a star. Each important myth is touched upon and ingeniously linked to the next as the poet progresses through his historical account. OvidÕs most influential work is here given a fluent prose translation.

PAUSANIAS
DESCRIPTION OF GREECE
5 Volumes
Pausanias (fl. 150 A.D.) was one of the Roman world's great travelers; he knew Greece well and was a veritable pilgrim to the Greek historical battlefields, monuments, and temples. Here, he sketches the history, geography, landmarks, legends, and religious cults of all the important cities, and shares his enthusiasm for the great sites--Delphi, Olympia, and others--describing them with care and an accuracy confirmed by comparison with monuments still standing today.

PETRONIUS
SATYRICON
Translated by M. Heseltine
SENECA, APOCOLOCYNTOSIS
Translated by W. H. D. Rouse
Petronius's picaresque novel (probably written during Nero's reign) presents in lurid detail the disreputable travels and adventures of Encolpius, a swashbuckling young coward lacking both morals and income. It has been called a kaleidoscope picture of literature, lust, and life. Perhaps best known are the chapters describing Trimalchio's wildly extravagant dinner party with rambunctious entertainment. For the revised edition, Warmington debowdlerized Heseltine's translation and expanded the explanatory notes. This volume also contains Apocolocyntosis, the satire on the death and apotheosis ("pumpkinification") of the emperor Claudius which is attributed to Seneca.

PHILOSTRATUS
LIFE OF APOLLONIUS OF TYANA
2 Volumes
Translated by F. C. Conybeare
Novel and biography are joined in this literary work with a historical core. Philostratus' life of the first century mystic from Tyana was written at the request of the empress Julia Domna. It portrays a man with supernatural powers, a Pythagorean who predicts the future, cures the sick, raises the dead, and himself prevails over death, ascending to heaven and later appearing to disciples to prove his immortality. The account has a rich and varied setting: Apollonius' ministering carries him throughout the eastern Mediterranean world, as far south as Ethiopia, and eastward to India. Philostratus' Life of Apollonius was long viewed by Christians as a dangerous attempt to set up a Christ-like rival (and the edition includes Eusebius' attack on Apollonius for this).

PINDAR
2 Volumes
Edited and translated by William H. Race
"This excellent Loeb edition of Pindar supersedes the antiquated volume edited by Sandys in 1915. Its most notable feature is clarity: the Greek typeface is a pleasure to read; the translations are crisp and accurate...plentiful notes both explain Pindar's recherché allusions and bring out how more than one interpretation of the text is often possible...this edition will be of lasting value."
--Stephen Instone, Classical Review
William H. Race gives us, in two volumes, a new edition and translation of Pindar's four books of victory odes, along with surviving fragments of his other poems. Brief introductions to each ode and full explanatory footnotes afford invaluable guidance throughout. Like Simonides and Bacchylides, Pindar wrote elaborate odes in honor of prize-winning athletes. His 45 victory odes celebrate triumphs in athletic contests at the four great Panhellenic festivals: the Olympic, Pythian (at Delphi), Nemean, and Isthmian games. In these poems, Pindar commemorates the achievement of athletes and powerful rulers against the backdrop of divine favor, human failure, heroic legend, and the moral ideals of aristocratic Greek society. Readers have long savored their rich poetic imagery, moral maxims, and vivid portrayals of sacred myths.

The philosophical argument is presented through a series of speeches at a dinner party--a vividly sketched portrayal of an evening with Socrates.

PLAUTUS
5 Volumes
Translated by Paul Nixon
Plautus made the Romans laugh. This highly successful playwright transformed the mild-mannered Greek New Comedy written more than a century earlier into a more playful and ribald style. Unlike Terence, whose plays were thoroughly Hellenic, Plautus introduces into his borrowings Roman characters, customs, and objects. Plautus is the earliest Latin author of whom we have more than fragments; twenty-one of his plays are extant.

PLINY THE YOUNGER
LETTERS AND PANEGYRICUS
2 Volumes
Translated by Betty Radice
Pliny's polished and wonderfully descriptive letters--discussing personal, public, and literary concerns--offer a picture of his own large circle of friends (which included Tacitus, Martial, and Suetonius) and of Roman society in all its diversity. Justly famous in this collection are two letters in which he describes in detail the eruption of Vesuvius in A.D. 79. Book 10 contains his correspondence with the emperor Trajan about conditions in Bithynia and Pontus; it includes the earliest pagan accounts of Christians and their rites.

PLOTINUS
7 Volumes
Translated by A. H. Armstrong
"Loeb features the best Greek text accompanied by a highly readable and clear English version."
--Classical World
Plotinus (A.D. 204/5-270) was the first and greatest of Neoplatonic philosophers. His writings were edited by his disciple Porphyry, who published them many years after his master's death in six sets of nine treatises each (the Enneads).
Plotinus regarded Plato as his master, and his own philosophy is a profoundly original development of the Platonism of the first two centuries of the Christian era and the closely related thought of the Neopythagoreans, with some influences from Aristotle and his followers and the Stoics, whose writings he knew well but used critically. He is a unique combination of mystic and Hellenic rationalist. His thought dominated later Greek philosophy and influenced both Christians and Moslems, and is still alive today because of its union of rationality and intense religious experience.
In his acclaimed edition of Plotinus, Armstrong provides excellent introductions to each treatise. His invaluable notes explain obscure passages and give reference to parallels in Plotinus and others.

MORALIA
15 Volumes (Volume XIII in two parts)
"This miscellany of essays makes Plutarch the Montaigne or Hazlitt of antiquity. He is best known for his Lives, a series of parallel biographies of heroic exemplification describing the great men of Greece and Rome. But the Moralia are as rich, and even more diverse, containing much to instruct and entertain. Written in Greek during the course of Plutarch's life--he flourished about 100 A.D.--they had an enormous influence on western culture until a century or two ago. Some are classics in every sense of the word...This is agreeable and civilised stuff, refreshingly contemporaneous despite having been matured for two thousand years in the casks of literature."
--A. C. Grayling, Financial Times [UK]

ISIS AND OSIRIS. THE E AT DELPHI. THE ORACLES AT DELPHI NO LONGER GIVEN IN VERSE. THE OBSOLESCENCE OF ORACLES
Translated by Frank C. Babbitt
Volume Five of Plutarch's Moralia collects four essays concerning religious matters. "Isis and Osiris" reports on Egyptian religious beliefsÑ-and then goes on to discuss proper approaches to the subject of religion. In two essays Plutarch, who was a priest at Delphi, explores questions about that oracle's site and the customs there. The fourth looks at oracles in general, and is of particular interest as an effort to reconcile science and religion.

Plutarch's Symposium or Table-Talk is a collection of dialogues purporting to reproduce the after-dinner conversation of Plutarch and his friends on a number of occasions in different cities. Discussions--at times very lively--cover a wide range of philosophical and scientific questions as well as historical subjects. Some deal with the form and pleasures of the dinner party itself. Plutarch's abiding interest in the ethical implications of customs and ideas is evident throughout.

PROPERTIUS
ELEGIES
Edited and translated by G. P. Goold
The passionate and dramatic elegies of Propertius gained him a reputation as one of Rome's finest love poets. Here he portrays the uneven course of his love affair with Cynthia and also tells us much about the society of his time. And in later poems he turns to the legends of ancient Rome. In this important new edition of the elegies of Propertius, Goold solves some long-standing questions of interpretation and delivers a faithful and stylish prose translation.
"This translation is... lively, elegant, and scholarly... [Goold's] text is not only independent but enterprising, a refreshing change after Fedili's Teubner."

PRUDENTIUS
2 Volumes
Translated by H. J. Thomson
Prudentius has been called "the father of Christian allegory." Born in 348, Prudentius achieved distinction in government administration but retired in later life to write devotional poetry, becoming the first to use the classical Latin verse forms with complete success in the service of the new faith. His lyrical poetry includes Hymns for the Day, a cycle of twelve hymns for various times of the day, parts of which are still found in modern hymnals; and Crowns of Martyrdom, fourteen long poems celebrating the lives of martyrs, including "The Passion of Agnes." Prudentius also wrote two long didactic poems: Apotheosis, on the doctrine of the Trinity; and Hamartigenia (Origin of Sin), which attacks the Gnostic theologian Marcion. The Loeb edition includes, as well, his Psychomachia, an allegorical description of the struggle between (Christian) virtues and (pagan) vices; Contra Symmachum, a polemic against paganism based on the events of the year 384; and a series of 49 poems describing biblical scenes depicted in wall paintings on a Roman church--a valuable source on Christian iconography.
