Description
This is a poem book. This is the second of the two volumes into which the present translation of the poems of Prudentius has been divided, as was indicated in the Introduction to Volume 1. The previous volume, Volume 43 of this Series, contained the two books of hymns: the Liber Cathemerinon, ‘Book of Hymns for Every Day, ’ and the Liber Peristephanon, ‘Book of the Martyrs’ Crowns.’ These lyric poems are written in a variety of Latin classical meters. The present volume contains the didactic and apologetic works of Prudentius, the Apotheosis, Hamartigenia, Psychomachia, and Contra Symmachum, all long poems written in dactylic hexameters.
