The first three books of Horace's Odes were issued together,
apparently in the latter part of 23 BC. The second book, however,
has a coherence of its own in terms of subject matter, tone of
voice, and arrangement. In particular there is a predominance of
poems concerned with philosophy, with conduct, and with friendship.
This commentary provides the reader with the background knowledge
of conventional forms and topics needed to appreciate fully every
aspect of the poems. In particular word-play, literary parallels,
and stylistic nuances are highlighted and discussed. The commentary
may be used in conjunction with the Oxford Classical Text of Horace
edited by E. C. Wickham.
