Horace Odes 3Oxford University Press, 2002 - 280 '(Horace: Odes I: Carpe Diem) Professor West takes us closer to understanding his ancient master works. This may not be fashionable literary theory. It is better than that: to help us to understand a great poem is an act of creative poetry itself.' -The Times(Horace: Odes I: Carpe Diem) This book will be needed by all who know Horace.... can new readers start here? Resoundingly, yes. They will gain a sound idea of what Horace means and how his poetry works, and these are achievements not to be obtained from other translations.The three books of Horace's Odes were published in 23 BC and gained him his reputation as the greatest Latin lyric poet. This book provides the Latin text (from the Oxford Classical Text series) of the third book together with a new translation by David West which attempts to be close to the Latin while catching the flavour of the original. There is also a commentary explaining the poems, which is aimed at students of Latin Literature and Roman history, whether or not they know Latin. |
