		Her own predilections led her to literature; and in her society Propertius found the intellectual sympathy and encouragement which were essential for the development of his powers.
		The workmanship is unequal, curtness alternating with redundance, and carelessness with elaboration.
		The editio princeps of Propertius is that of 1472 (Venice).

	Propertius
		Sextus Propertius, living from about 50 BC to 16 BC, was in the heart of the Augustan literary phenomenon, but for some odd reason, he is generally ignored except by specialists, and relegated to an obscure place in the history of Latin literature.
		Propertius is not easy reading, he is heavily loaded with mythological references, some of a rather obscure kind, which keep the reader going back and forth to the reference books.
		Propertius' language is clear and pure in its vocabulary, perhaps the fact that he didn't influence modern literature heavily (except in the case of Pound), may be working against his reputation.

		Instead she argues that Propertius designed book 4 as a site of conflict between elegiac discourse and aetiological concerns, constructing a collection which is neither simple elegy nor simple aetiology.
		She proposes that book 4 is a "hybrid discourse" (27) that allows the poet to expand his elegiac themes, while participating in present moral and political discourses and engaging with the poetry of his contemporaries, thus defining the national character of Rome.
		She contends for a revaluing in 4.6 of naval language, of the roles of Apollo, Propertius, and Cleopatra, as well as the historical vs. amatory role of the battle itself.

		Propertius' income was thus severely diminished, though he was never really poor.
		The first of Propertius' four books of elegies was published in 29 BC, the year in which he first met "Cynthia," its heroine.
		But Propertius felt it his duty to support the right of the artist to lead his own life, and he demanded that poetry, and art in general, should not be regarded simply as a civilized way of passing the time.

	LNW 5675: Roman Poets (Ovid)
		Propertius is recognized as the quintessential Roman elegist, at least Roman elegy as it has been transmitted to us through the surviving authors.
		Propertius explodes the elegiac spirit into every song he writes, constantly promoting the individual voice and experience that is the essence of elegy.
		If Propertius can be said to accentuate the personal voice so that it becomes privatized, then this emphasis on the individual and independence violates the heart of Augustus' tota Italia and its insistence on society as community, which is reflected in the lyrics of Horace and Vergil's Aeneid.

	The Truth About Angry Beauty
		Propertius' poems about his mistress Cynthia, on the other hand, seem to have inaugurated a new approach to the enraged woman, one based in the relentless eroticization of anger.
		Both Propertius and Campion display a great deal of anxiety over the veracity of their interpretations of female desire; and it is here that we can begin to see the importance of anger- as-beauty in the male imagination.
		Significantly, Propertius and Keats present the anger not just of women, but of mistresses; that is, they code their female characters as creatures of sexual appetite, and female anger as fundamentally related to the frustration of desire.

		Propertius' controlled, passive state is repeatedly contrasted with that of his active or politically engaged counterparts.
		Given the strong negative connotations of mollitia, Propertius' consistent description of his verses and even himself as mollis in contrast to epic is especially significant since it develops the already explicit contrast between the elegist and the man of action in provocative ways.
		These changes are part of a family of strategies found in Ovidian elegy and elsewhere to mask a tear in the social fabric along the always fragile seam of masculine identity and to create a social space in which members of the upper orders of Roman society could act.

	Chapter 3: “Cynthia as Symptom: Propertius, Gallus, and the Structure of the Monobiblos”
		As Boucher notes, Cynthia and the implied narrative of Propertius’ affair with her is the animating force of Propertius’s poetry (1980: 240).
		I argue that in Propertius he functions as the sign of a lost masculine plenitude, in which the lover and the soldier are complementary rather than opposed.
		Propertius in 1.13 uses the exemplum of Neptune assuming the body of the river god Enipeus so as to make love to Tyro.

		Death, desire and translation: on the poetry of Propertius.
		The poetry of Sextus Propertius presents problems to the translator because of the difficulty of translating the quality of love juxtaposed with death.
		Moreover, the haunting presence of the poet's mistress, Cynthia, who is also his Muse, subject, reader and the title of his first volume, assumes multiple roles, which makes meaning both elusive and confusing.

	Alibris: Propertius
		Propertius, though his works are small in volume, is one of the foremost poets of the Augustan age, and his writing has a certain appeal to modern tastes (witness the admiration of Ezra Pound).
		The Roman poet Propertius is best known as the writer who perfected the Latin love elegy, a technical as much as a psychological and cultural feat.
		Propertius lived at the end of the last century BC, and wrote, in Latin, searing and bewildering love poetry of tremendous literary-historical influence.

	Propertius: Two War Poems
		There is no question that the last two poems of Propertius' Monobiblos are very different from the rest of that book, in fact very different from Propertius' normal style and subject material.
		Propertius mentions in IV, 1.125 that he came from Assizi, but now he talks about an origin connected with Perusia and that area.
		Next we come to the complex and highly interleaved poem: Propertius I, 22, (which we can forget as a "seal" concluding the Monobiblos.) Some critics have found it a strangely inconclusive piece to end a book of poems, one even questioned whether it has any meaning or relevance at all.

		Many would disagree; political upheaval there certainly is at the time when Propertius is writing Book 4, and how the poet deals with his political situation has formed the basis of much analysis of this book.
		Her first goal is an analysis of Propertius' elegies, especially in Book 4, in the light of Jacques Lacan's theories of 'the divided subject as an inherent cleavage that presses human beings to seek "unity" or "wholeness"' (4).
		Janan's analysis of Propertius' elegies begins, not with Book 4, although that is the stated subject of her book but with the 'Gallus' poems that appear in the first book of elegies, as these six poems 'are a particularly rich field in which to examine Propertius' elliptical politics' (p.

		Whatever the merits of these, and other, competing interpretations, Propertius has by now certainly come into his own, acquiring a whole new generation of readers.
		Indeed, in his 1997 play about the scholar-poet Housman, Tom Stoppard suggests that Propertius is one of the poets who were responsible for "the invention of love" in the West.
		Whether or not it was Propertius' explicit intention, these elegies extend our ideas of desire, and of the human condition itself.

		First, Santini shows the importance of the Virgilian intertext for Propertius as well as for Ovid, especially in their treatments of the character of Evander (who is evoked in particular in Aeneid 8) and of the story of Hercules and Cacus (which appears in Aeneid 9).
		They are rather assimilated into Propertius' poetic world: they have been made Propertian, and as such cannot be interpreted when disconnected from their contexts.
		Irma Ciccarelli, like Carlo Pelligrini, considers the intertextual phenomena between Propertius and Ovid: she compares the tempest in Propertius 1.17 and in Ovid Tristia 1.2, which are both to be related to the epic tempests in Homer and in Virgil.

		However, scrupulous attention is paid to Propertius' historical context, and compelling arguments justify the relevance of such a theoretical approach.
		The bizarre chronology of the poem (Cynthia still lives despite the appearance of her ghost in 4.7) and its internal rift (the shaky relation between the Lanuvium fertility ritual and the Esquiline "riot" caused by Propertius' foreclosed infidelity) should be "viewed as a principled textual strategy" (115).
		Chapter 9 examines Cornelia's elegiac self-defense in the underworld, Propertius 4.11, from the perspective of Lacan's concepts of the Law, feminine jouissance, "quilting" and objet a Again, Janan refers to ancient texts other than Propertius' poems to exemplify both the relevance of the Lacanian concepts and their uncanny anticipation in authors of antiquity.

	Propertius, Sextus -- Britannica Student Encyclopedia
		Considered the greatest elegiac poet of ancient Rome, Sextus Propertius is remembered best for his love poems dedicated to Cynthia.
		Propertius was a member of a prosperous family from what is now Assisi in Umbria.
		He flashed on the Roman world when he was 20 with a volume of passionate colorful poems celebrating his love for the capricious “Cynthia.” A gentler and more refined young poet was Tibullus, in whom grace and melodiousness took the place of Propertius' fire.

		Plautus was born in Umbria; Ovid was the gloria Paelignae gentis.
		Propertius uses this rather brief citation from reality as a means to put his audience in the midst of Rome and to lay the ground for his aitiological narrative.
		There is one important exception to this general observation that extensive descriptions of one's own city are usually avoided: When a poet has an additional special intention on his mind, he can use such a tour as a vehicle to grasp his reader's hand and lead him through Rome.
