Grecorromanas

This volume presents the surviving texts and testimonies of the poets of Antiquity from Sappho (who composed his work in Greek at the end of the 7th century BC) to Fabia Aconia Paulina (who did it in Latin in the 4th century AD). Eleven centuries in which a succession of unusual and isolated women shared a common pagan culture. Safo's example worked as a stimulus for almost all of them, Greek and Roman. Greco-Roman. Because the literary teaching of the Greek language was never absent from Rome. The variety of genres they practiced is surprising, from the erotic monody of Sappho to Erina's funeral lament, from Melino's political hymn to Rome to Sulpicia's crude anti-imperial satire, from Praxila's banquet poetry to the epigrams of the Balbila travelers o Terencia. They are our ancestors. A corpus of surviving texts and testimonies of the poets of Classical Antiquity (VII BC - IV AD)
