Description
The Odes of Horace are a collection of lyric masterpieces that capture the essence of Latin literature's golden age. Written in response to the politics and social changes of his time, these poems explore themes of peace, mortality, friendship, and love. This new verse translation returns to traditional English disciplines of rhyme and metre, mirroring Horace's own metrical discipline. It is designed for those with little or no Latin who wish to understand what the Odes say, as well as students of Classical Studies. Notes explain the historical, social, and personal context of each poem, with the Latin opposite the English stanza by stanza. A valuable resource for anyone concerned about preserving our cultural heritage, this book is a worthwhile investment for adults who want to support their children's or godchildren's literary education.
