This collection, titled Erotica, brings together the works of several classical authors renowned for their exploration of love, desire, and human relationships. Included are the elegies of Propertius, offering a glimpse into the passionate and often tumultuous affairs of ancient Rome. The famed Satyricon of Petronius is also featured, with its satirical and picaresque portrayal of Roman society. Completing the collection are the Kisses of Johannes Secundus, celebrated for their lyrical and sensual descriptions, alongside the love epistles of Aristaenetus.
Presented in both literal translation and poetical versions from various sources, this volume offers a rich tapestry of voices and perspectives on the complexities of human affection and the enduring power of erotic literature.
