  • Horace. Epodes and Odes. A New Annotated Latin Edition. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, 1991. 397p. Paperback. Upper corner slightly bumped. 'This edition comprises a text of the 'Odes', 'Epodes' and the 'Carmen Seculare', and some tow hundred pages of commentary, which explicitedly eschew critical or aethetic judgements. (...) In keepint with the undergraduate readership envisaged, there is abundant assistance with grammatical explication and poetic diction. There are useful maps of Horace's Italy and the Mediterranean basisn, as well as a glossary of literary or rhetorical terms, which reflects the emphasis which Garrison attaches to figures of speech and thought. The best feature of the commentary is the author's often-demonstrated ability to capture the essence of a Horation phrase in a pithy formulation (...).' (LINDSAY C. WATSON in The Journal of Roman Studies, 1994, pp.267-68). € 34.50 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9780806130576
