Translations from and thoughts about ancient epigram and its reception. I translated 'Martial: Epigrams' (2015) and 'Epigrams from the Greek Anthology' (2020) for the World's Classics, and am the author of 'Greek Epigram in Reception' (2013). I'm @GideonNisbet on Twitter and post more translations there.

Martial 1.74
He was your bit on the side. Still, Paula, you were able to deny it. Now look: he’s your husband. Paula, can you still say no?
Say 'no he wasn't', say no to him... Pick one, or both.
