The phrase, “Omnia Vincit Amor” is undoubtedly one of the most important concepts to carry through life, from the Ancient Roman times to modern day. The idea of “Omnia Vincit Amor”, or love conquers all, was first introduced by the poet Virgil in his tenth Eclogue, which was published sometime around 37 B.C. (Kingsley-Smith 8).
Gallus is imagined wasting away from love, and much of the poem is taken up with a lament spoken by Gallus himself. The lament, and Gallus’ life, ends with the famous line: omnia vincit amor, et nos cedamus amori (‘love conquers all; let me too yield to love’).
