Three epigrams by Martial

I:1

VI:60

X:35

 

 

Published in The Antonym on 30 September 2022, this tripitaka ('triple basket') was among the winners of the International

Translation Day competition. Presented as traditional poems, they vary from established translations of the relevant texts –

they would not be any fun otherwise – and deliver some interesting philosophical and historical messages.

Coloring (2023) with specially designed illustrations (in both color and grayscale variants).
