Die Gattung der Liebeselegie ist etwas genuin Römisches – und deswegen aus dem lateinischen Lektüreunterricht auch nicht wegzudenken. Repräsentiert wird sie durch die erhaltenen Werke der drei großen Elegiker Roms: Properz, Tibull und Ovid. Die sorgfältig zusammengestellte Elegien-Auswahl macht nicht nur die Vielzahl der Themen deutlich, die diese Dichter rund um die Liebe behandeln, sondern lässt – trotz allen formalen und motivischen Gemeinsamkeiten, die die Gattung gleichsam formieren – auch die Unterschiede erkennen: Jede Dichterpersönlichkeit setzt andere Akzente und widmet sich dem Stoff in einer ganz individuellen Haltung.
