Sinopsis

'Pharsalia,' also known as 'De Bello Civili' (The Civil War), is an epic poem by Marcus Annaeus Lucanus (Lucan) that recounts the epic clash between Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great during the Roman Civil War. Through vivid descriptions and dramatic narrative, Lucan portrays the moral decay of Rome and the catastrophic consequences of unchecked ambition. Unlike traditional epics, 'Pharsalia' diverges from divine intervention, focusing instead on human agency and the tragic course of history. This edition offers readers access to Lucan?s powerful verse, capturing the intensity and drama of one of history?s most pivotal conflicts. 'Pharsalia' remains a compelling work, offering insights into the nature of power, the cost of war, and the enduring legacy of the Roman Republic.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
