## Bio

Born around 50–45 BC in Assisium, Sextus Propertius came of age in the shadow of civil war and found his subject in elegy. His four books of Elegiae survive, dense with longing and myth, and he moved in the circle of Gallus and Virgil under the patronage of Maecenas—and, through him, Augustus himself. He was less celebrated than his fellow elegists in his own time, but modern scholars count him among the major poets of Rome. He died shortly after 15 BC, leaving work that still resists easy reading.
