The Odes and Epodes of Horace, a Metrical Tr. Into Engl., With Intr. and Comm., by Lord Lytton. With Lat. Text (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781145364073)

This volume presents Lord Lytton's metrical translation of the Odes and Epodes of Horace, accompanied by the original Latin text, an introduction, and commentary. Quintus Horatius Flaccus, known in the English-speaking world as Horace, was the leading Roman lyric poet during the time of Augustus. His Odes and Epodes are cornerstones of classical literature, exploring themes of love, friendship, philosophy, and the appreciation of simple pleasures.

Lytton's translation seeks to capture the spirit and form of Horace's verse, making it accessible to English readers while retaining the essence of the original Latin. This edition offers both the translation and the original text, allowing readers to compare and appreciate the artistry of both Horace and Lytton. The introduction and commentary provide valuable context and insights into Horace's life, work, and the historical and cultural background of his poetry. A valuable resource for students and enthusiasts of classical literature and poetry.
