Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Tibullus at Delia's. Albius Tibullus (c. 55 BC – c. 19 BC) was a Latin poet and writer of elegies. His first and second books of poetry are extant; many other texts attributed to him are of questionable origins. Little is known about the life of Tibullus.
The elegiac couplet is presumed to be the oldest Greek form of epodic poetry (a form where a later verse is sung in response or comment to a previous one). Scholars, who even in the past did not know who created it, [3] theorize the form was originally used in Ionian dirges, with the name "elegy" derived from the Greek ε, λεγε ε, λεγε—"Woe, cry woe, cry!"
The words asper "harsh" and gloria "boast" are applied to Tibullus in 5 and to Cupid in 6 (1.5.1–2, 1.6.2–3); Tibullus speaks of his and Delia's furtivi lecti "furtive bed" in 5, and of Delia's having sex furtim "furtively" with another man in 6 (1.5.7, 1.6.5–6); in 5 Tibullus remembers how he restored Delia to health, in 6 how he taught ...

Since book 1 of the Satires was written about 35 BC, it seems unlikely that Horace's Cerinthus is the same as Tibullus's Cornutus, despite the similarity of the situation. [10] Robert Maltby, who believes that the Sulpicia poems and the Garland were not written in the time of Tibullus but much later, argues that the persona of "Cerinthus" is a ...
Propertius published a first book of love elegies around 30 BC, with the character 'Cynthia' as the main theme; [14] the book's complete devotion gave it the natural title Cynthia Monobiblos. The Monobiblos must have attracted the attention of Maecenas , a patron of the arts who took Propertius into his circle of court poets.
