His entreaties and appeals were of no avail; and after the first book no more is heard of Delia.[1] In addition, several elegies in Book I concern themselves with Tibullus's love for a boy, who is named Marathus.[5] The three poems centered on Marathus constitute the longest poetic project in Roman literature having homosexual love as theme.[6] The first of these poems, 1.4, begins with an imprecation of the poet to the god Priapus, asking for advice on how to win over beautiful boys. The Codex cuiacianus, a late manuscript containing Catullus, Tibullus and Propertius, is still extant.[10] ""His Turn to Cry:" Tibullus' Marathus Cycle (1.4, 1.8 and 1.9) and Roman Elegy".
