Summary:In his article ‘Juvenal's Bookcase,’ Gilbert Highet demonstrates that Juvenal's poetry was stylistically influenced chiefly by Martial, Ovid, Vergil, and Horace. Highet also points out that Juvenal was familiar with Propertius’ elegies, and cites four instances of imitation. In this study we shall examine these passages and other passages where the satirist may have been influenced by the Augustan elegist.
