Propertius
Sextus Aurelius Propertius was a Latin elegiac poet born between 57 BC and 46 BC in or near Mevania, who died in around 12 BC.
Like Virgil and Ovid, Propertius was also a member of the poetic circle of neoteric poets which collected around Mæcenas. He became the close personal friend of Ovid, and spent most of his life in Rome. Little more is known of his life.
Propertius's surviving work consists of four books of Elegies, of which the best modern edition is that edited by Gould in the Loeb Classical Library.
