Horace's Odes enjoys a long tradition of translation into English,
most famously in versions that seek to replicate the quantitative
rhythms of the Latin verse in rhymed quatrains. Stanley Lombardo,
one of our preeminent translators of classical literature, now
gives us a Horace for our own day that focuses on the dynamics,
sense, and tone of the Odes , while still respecting its
architectonic qualities. In addition to notes on each of the odes,
Anthony Corbeill offers an Introduction that sketches the poet's
tumultuous political and literary careers, highlights the Odes '
intricate construction and thematic breadth, and identifies some
qualities of this work that shed light on a disputed question in
its reception: Are these poems or lyrics? This dual-language
edition will prove a boon to students of classical civilization,
Roman literature, and lovers of one of the great masters of Latin
verse.
