Horace's Odes are among the most popular, and the most
misunderstood, of ancient writings. The present work is written in
the belief that they are learned poems, which demand some knowledge
of conventional forms and topics. Each ode is provided with an
introduction which sets it against its Greek and Roman literary
background. This edition may be used in conjunction with the Oxford
Classical Text edited by E. C. Wickham. The commentary includes a
large number of parallel passages, chosen to show how Horace plays
new variations on old themes; it is hoped that these may prove
useful to commentators on other ancient poets. The book also
contains sections on chronology and metre, and a select
bibliography is attached to each ode.
