trans. Alan Halsey Mercurialis the Younger

Epigrams and Fragments


Published by West House Books 2004

Edition 1st

Condition Mint

Mercurialis the Younger, ‘of Anticyra in Phocis, famous for black hellebore’, fl. 260-285 AD. Seventy one of his poems survive in the Annales Anticyrae where they are quoted, usually in fragmentary form, to illustrate contemporary events and aspects of life in the province. The poems are acerbic and quarrelsome: Mercurialis likes to castigate doctors, philosophers, politicians, other poets, his several lovers and himself. This edition is the first complete translation of the extant poems.
