Translating Martial
Introduction
This is the entry page to
a remarkable website, housed at the Marshall University Classics website, which
will introduce you to the art of translating the ancient Roman poet Martial.
Elizabeth R. Duke, a Yeager Scholar at Marshall University with majors in both
math and Latin, prepared this site in 2002 as her senior project.
The Classics Faculty at Marshall University is extremely proud to offer this
excellent work to all who love Latin literature and the epigrams of Martial.
Please note that this site contains the frank and explicit sexual language of
the poet, an accurate reflection of how it appears in Martial's Latin.
