Texts and Translations

Latin authors are abbreviated in accordance with the OLD (e.g. Ov. Ep. 2.15), Greek authors in accordance with the LSJ (e.g. Hdt. 3.30). There are two exceptions: Virgil is referred to as Virg. (instead of Verg.), and lines from the Punica are usually not preceded by an abbreviation. Only in cases where ambiguity may arise, the abbreviation Pun. is used.

Unless otherwise indicated, the following text editions and translations have been used. I have freely adapted many of the translations; this is especially the case for texts from the Punica.
