Synopsis
A lively, accessible English verse of Horace’s Epodes, with expert guidance to help you enter the poet’s world.
The Epodes collected here are rendered in readable English verse by Arthur S. Way, with an introduction that sets the stage for Horace’s Rome and his shifting loyalties. The edition groups the poems into four thematic strands—political, personal, satirical, and idyllic—and explains how the Epodes fit into Horace’s career, from his early republican years to the later, more serene odes. This edition aims to brighten the reader’s encounter with Horace, balancing faithful rendering with a touch of modern color to engage today’s audiences.
- Seventeen Epodes translated into accessible English verse
- An introduction that places Horace in historical and literary context
- A discussion of the collection’s structure and the poet’s aims
- Notes that illuminate references and the poems’ voice and style
Ideal for readers of classic poetry who want a fresh, readable path into Horace’s sharp wit, personal glimpses, and satirical bite, without needing a classical dictionary at hand.
