LUCAN: THE CIVIL WAR PHARSALIA
Harvard University Press & William Heinemann. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1969. Hardcover. 0674992423 . Minor shelfwear to book. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Dustjacket has some shelfwear and rubbing with one tear to rear panel and a bit of chipping. ; Loeb Classical Library No. 220; 656 pages; Lucan M. Annaeus Lucanus 39�65 CE son of wealthy M. Annaeus Mela and nephew of Seneca was born at Corduba Cordova in Spain and was brought as a baby to Rome. In 60 CE at a festival in Emperor Nero's honour Lucan praised him in a panegyric and was promoted to one or two minor offices. But having defeated Nero in a poetry contest he was interdicted from further recitals or publication so that three books of his epic The Civil War were probably not issued in 61 when they were finished. By 65 he was composing the tenth book but then became involved in the unsuccessful plot of Piso against Nero and aged only twenty-six by order took his own life. Quintilian called Lucan a poet "full of fire and energy and a master of brilliant phrases." His epic stood next after Virgil's in the estimation of antiquity. Julius Caesar looms as a sinister hero in his stormy chronicle in verse of the war between Caesar and the Republic's forces under Pompey and later under Cato in Africa�a chronicle of dramatic events carrying us from Caesar's fateful crossing of the Rubicon through the Battle of Pharsalus and death of Pompey to Caesar victorious in Egypt. The poem is also called Pharsalia. . Harvard University Press & William Heinemann hardcover

Apparently a native of Greek Alexandria in Egypt he was to judge by his name of Roman descent though his first writings were in Greek and his pure Latin may have been learned by him as a foreign language. About 395 CE he moved to Italy Milan and Rome and though really a pagan became a professional court-poet composing for Christian rulers works which give us important knowledge of Honorius's time. A panegyric on the brothers Probinus and Olybrius consuls together in 395 was followed during ten years by other poems mostly epics in hexameters : in praise of consulships of Honorius 395 398 404 CE ; against the Byzantine ministers Rufinus 396 and Eutropius 399 ; in praise of the consulship 400 of Stilicho Honorius's guardian general and minister ; in praise of Stilicho's wife Serena; mixed metres on the marriage of Honorius to their daughter Maria; on the war with the rebel Gildo in Africa 398 ; on the Getic or Gothic war 402 ; on Stilicho's success against the Goth Alaric 403 ; on the consulship of Manlius Theodorus 399 ; and on the wedding of Palladius and Celerina. Less important are non-official poems such as the three books of a mythological epic on the Rape of Proserpina unfinished as was also a Battle of Giants in Greek.
