	Tibullus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tibullus had no liking for war, and though his life seems to have been divided between Rome and his country estate, his own preferences were wholly for the country life.
		Yet it is clear that it was the absence of her husband on military service in Cilicia which gave Tibullus the opportunity of seeing her, and he continued to do so when the husband returned.
		Tibullus was first printed with Catullus, Propertius, and the Silvae of Statius by Vindelinus de Spira (Venice, 1472), and separately by Florentius de Argentina, probably in the same year.

		So ceased the active life of Tibullus: he retired to the peace for which he had yearned ; his life is now the chronicle of his poetry and of those tender passions which were the inspiration of his poetry.
		The time of Tibullus he supposes to be-shared between the finishing his exquisite small poems, which were to surpass even those of Cassius of Parma, up to that time the models of that kind of composition, and the enjoyment of the country.
		Tibullus possessed, according to his friend's notions, all the blessings of life—a competent fortune, favour with the great, fame, health ; and seemed to know how to enjoy all those blessings.

		Tibullus has no leanings to an active life: his ideal is a quiet retirement in the country with the loved one at his side.
		As Tibullus loved the country life so he clung to its faiths, and in an age of crude materialism and the grossest superstition, he was religious in the old Roman way.

	Learning From Tibullus by Steven J. Willett
		The Augustan poet Albius Tibullus was born sometime between 55 and 45 BC and died young still a iuvenis ("youth") in 19 or 18 BC.
		Although Tibullus claims in his poetry to suffer from paupertas ("poverty"), the term implied modest means, not outright penury, and carried a positive moral connotation as one who did not live ostentatiously.
		Tibullus knew the full spectrum of war all too well from battles fought next to his patron and from the bloody civil wars that raged during most of his own life.

		In the 1970’s it had been popular to ascribe an anti-war sentiment to the genre of elegy but, more recently, there is a tendency to reject any anti-war principle in the Tibullan corpus, and to regard the antipathy to bloodshed voiced in the poems as a personal preference rather than a general prescription.
		Tibullus 1.10 begins with an expression of horror at the invention of weaponry, goes on to renounce war in favor of love and closes with a vision of the goddess Peace proffering her bounty.
		Tibullus’ poems, and Roman poets in general, object to fratricidal civil war, not to wars against barbarians at the borders of the Roman realm.

		Of the youth and education of Tibullus, absolutely nothing is known.
		His late editor and biographer, Dissen, has endeavoured to make out from his writings, that according to the law, which compelled the son of an eques to perform a certain period of military service (formerly ten years), Tibullus was forced, strongly against his will, to become a soldier.
		That estate, belonging to the equestrian ancestors of Tibullus, was at Pedum, between Tibur and Praeneste.

		Readers of Tibullus I will find few surprises in Tibullus II, for in general Murgatroyd follows the "practices and procedures" of his first volume, although he says that he has "streamlined the notes, in an attempt to place less of a barrier of scholarship between the reader and the Latin" (p.

		Murgatroyd is a good observer of alliteration, assonance, rhythm, and various sound effects, although his comments on their affective quality are subjective (and generally presented as such).

		M.'s discussion of individual poems in Tibullus' two books of elegies is as richly detailed and philologically focused as his introduction and text would lead one to expect.
		He is less interested in Tibullus' relationship to the classical rhetorical tradition, although he duly records the rhetorical commonplaces on which Tibullus draws throughout the poem, such as the conventional "denunciation of wealth and luxury" (140) implied by Tibullus' curse on gold and emeralds at 1.1.51.

		After his fine commentary on Tibullus I (1980), now happily available in reprint through the Bristol Press (1991) and its variable marketers, Murgatroyd has produced an intelligent and reliable sequel.
		Apropos the latter, M. notes well that the search for variety, novelty, and experiment is the principal raison d'etre for Tibullus' composing the kind of elegies he wrote in Book 2, a rationale that can be usefully applied to other works of Augustan poetry also.
		In short, this will be the standard commentary on Tibullus II for the next few decades.

		Scaliger’s rearrangement of Tibullus’ elegies was rejected by Volpi (1749), but it still had some later influence on litterateurs.
		Later imitations of Tibullus, written by Batiushkov, Milonov, Merzliakov, and Ryleev, were composed using the regularly rhymed Alexandrine (as Dmitriev’s translation was); by the 1810s and early 1820s, this meter had became appropriate for “imitations of the ancients”.
		In Russia, Tibullus proved to be the most popular Augustan elegist, and, for some poets, the elegy “imitated from the ancients” was, in fact, Tibullus’ elegy.

	Drinkwater: Slave to Boy Love: Tibullus, Marathus, and the servitium amoris
		This paper examines the servitium amoris motif in Tibullus' homoerotic poetry as a complement to, rather than a deviation from, the elegiac norm of heterosexuality.
		In particular, her conclusion that "the homoerotic passions of Tibullus's alter ego are not as overwhelming as his heterosexual passions—and certainly he never assumes anything like servitium amoris for the sake of a boy" (10) overstates the case.
		Yet the submission of the socially dominant adult male speaker to his young male love object in Tibullus' homoerotic cycle does, in fact, follow the pattern of the male elegiac speaker's submission to his mistress.

		In the opening lines of the poem (5-6), Ovid defines Tibullus as a vates of Elegy, a definition that forms a contrast with the idea of vates as a dignified prophet and teacher.

		Such powerplay within the text of Tibullus 1 has ramifications well beyond the erotic sphere.

	Corby KELLY
		In this paper I argue, in conjunction with a survey of the relevant allusions, that Tibullus invites the reader to compare his use of allusion in I.1 to the practice of offering first-fruits or libation, a widespread religious practice of thanksgiving for agricultural bounty that was a common trope in Roman praise of the countryside.
		By figuring allusion as an offering of first-fruits Tibullus suggests a picture of literary interaction that pays homage to his predecessor and at the same time emphasizes his own poetic authority.
		At I.1.15-16 Tibullus enacts something very similar to the agricultural libation he describes in the preceding couplet: by positioning Flava Ceres and Spicea in initial position, the poet offers back to Virgil these initial samplings, these verse-initiating fragments, of his own poem.
