Book 3 of the Odes completes the lyric trilogy which Horace, who
rivals Virgil as the greatest of all Latin poets, published in 23
BC. Arguably his most famous book, it opens with the six so-called
'Roman Odes', those defining texts of the Augustan Age, and
concludes with the statement of his achievement: he has produced
for his Roman readers a body of lyric poetry to rival the great
lyric poets of Greece, a monument which will last as long as Rome
itself. The present volume aims to place Horace's Odes in their
literary and historical context, to explain his Latin, to
articulate his thought, and to attempt to elucidate his brilliance.
It presents a new text and adopts an approach independent of that
of earlier commentators.
