The Athlete in the Ancient Greek World

The Attic Nights of Aulus Gellius, Second Edition
An Intermediate Reader and Grammar Review
The selections chosen for this reader touch on diverse aspects of Roman culture and can be easily understood and translated by intermediate students.

Gender and Sexuality in Juvenal’s Rome
Satire 2 and Satire 6
For students and scholars of gender and sexuality, these poems are crucial texts. Chiara Sulprizio’s lively translation, perfectly suited for classroom use, captures the vivid spirit of Juvenal’s poems, and her extensive notes enhance the volume’s appeal by explicating the poems from a gendered perspective.
The Psychomachia of Prudentius
Text, Commentary, and Glossary
Prudentius (b. 348 c.e.), one of the greatest Latin poets of late antiquity, was also a devoted Christian. His allegorical masterpiece, Psychomachia, combines epic language and theological speculation to offer a powerful vision of Roman and Christian triumphalism.
Communication, Love, and Death in Homer and Virgil
An Introduction
Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey and Virgil’s Aeneid are three of the most important—and influential—works of Western classical literature. Although they differ in subject matter and authorship, these epic poems share a common purpose: to tell the “deeds both of men and of the gods.” Written in an accessible style and ideally suited for classroom use, Communication, Love, and Death in Homer and Virgil offers a unique comparative analysis of these classic works.
The Arena of Satire
Juvenal's Search for Rome
The Arena of Satire presents the satirist as flaneur traversing the streets of Rome in search of its authentic core—those distinctly Roman virtues that have disappeared amid the corruption of the age. What the vengeful, punishing satirist does to his victims, as Larmour shows, echoes what the Roman state did to outcasts and criminals in the arena of the Colosseum.
The Satyrica of Petronius
An Intermediate Reader with Commentary and Guided Review
In The Satyrica of Petronius, Beth Severy-Hoven makes the masterpiece, with its flights of language and vision of Roman culture around the time of Nero, accessible to a new generation of students of Latin.
Caesar's Gallic War
A Commentary
A classic of western literature, Julius Caesar’s Gallic War is also a staple of Latin language instruction at both the high school and college levels. This new edition for students, prepared by a senior classical scholar and translator, is among the most comprehensive available and will be especially valuable because Caesar is one of the two authors chosen for the new Advanced Placement curriculum in high school Latin.
