Den romerske dikteren Marcus Valerius Martialis (ca. 40–103), på norsk best kjent som Martial, utga i sin levetid rundt regnet 1500 epigrammer, fordelt over 12 bøker. Martial betraktes av de fleste som sjangerens udiskutable høydepunkt, og epigrammene hans har gjennom tidene vært en stadig kilde til så vel inspirasjon som frustrasjon. For denne poeten har ikke bare blitt elsket for sitt vidd; han har blitt kritisert for sin smisking for keiseren (keiserpanegyrikk), og – ikke minst – for sitt forfatterskaps mange obskøne epigrammer. Men det er uansett forfatterens våkne blikk og velformulerte penn som gjør ham til en levende klassiker, enten man følger ham gjennom Romas gater, opplever en fest gjennom hans øyne, eller tar inn over seg ris eller ros som rettes mot venn og uvenn. Her presenteres for første gang på norsk en av Martials epigrambøker i sin helhet.Gjendiktet og med etterord av Johann Grip.

'If you're one of those terribly serious readers, now is a good time to leave.' The poet we call Martial, Marcus Valerius Martialis, lived by his wits in first-century Rome. Pounding the mean streets of the Empire's capital, he takes apart the pretensions, addictions, and cruelties of its inhabitants with perfect comic timing and killer punchlines. Social climbers and sex-offenders, rogue traders and two-faced preachers - all are subject to his forensic annihilations and often foul-mouthed verses. Packed with incident and detail, Martial's epigrams bring Rome vividly to life in all its variety; biting satire rubs alongside tender friendship, lust for life beside sorrow for loss. Gossipy, clever, and above all entertaining, they express amusement as much as indignation at the vices they expose. This selection brings Martial to a twenty-first century readership in a prose translation that pulls no punches and presents him in all his moods. It establishes his originality as a literary author, and the significance of his achievement as the poet who conquered epigram for Rome. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

" pigrammes" de Martial. Po te latin (40-104).

This lively translation accurately captures the wit and uncensored bawdiness of the epigrams of Martial, who satirized Roman society, both high and low, in the first century CE. His pithy little poems amuse, but also offer vivid insight into the world of patrons and clients, doctors and lawyers, prostitutes, slaves, and social climbers in ancient Rome.The selections cover nearly a third of Martial's 1,500 or so epigrams, augmented by an introduction by historian Marc Kleijwegt and informative notes on literary allusion and wordplay by translator Susan McLean.
