About Horace Odes II: Vatis Amici
Product Description This book provides the Latin text (from the Oxford Classical Text series) of the second book of Horace's masterpiece together with a translation that tries to adhere closely to the Latin while capturing the flavor of the original. Included is a helpful commentary, making the book accessible not only to students but to lovers of classical poetry. Review Praise for Odes I: "...such an important contribution to the study of Latin poetry....West's edition is full of new ideas and original interpretations....West's commentary should stimulate much fruitful discussion both among Latin scholars and students. This book will be especially valuable to teachers and undergraduate Latin students. Yet, it also merits a wider audience, including those in other fields who require an introduction to Horace and some appreciation of his poetry, whether in Latin or English."-- New England Classical Journal About the Author Professor of Latin at Newcastle (1969-92), Chairman of the board of Greece and Rome (1975-92), President of the Virgil Society (1992), President of the Classical Association (1995).
