Horace entire
Every surviving poem of Quintus Horatius Flaccus — the Odes and Epodes, the Satires and Epistles, the Ars Poetica and the Carmen Saeculare — translated in a single voice, with the Latin facing every line. A glossary of every name and a cross-reference index sit alongside.
What makes this different
A few things, taken together, set this edition apart. Click any to expand.
Every register, one voice.
Odes, Satires, Epistles, Epodes and the Secular Hymn by one translator under a single style guide — where complete Horaces usually mix many hands.
Arranged as written, not by genre.
Read in the order Horace published them and you follow a freedman's son rise from the losing side at Philippi to Augustus's official poet — not the usual genre-shelved arrangement.
A scholarly apparatus alongside.
A glossary of every name and place, the Latin facing the text, and cross-references — absent from plain editions.
From the Latin.
Read from Horace's Latin directly, not adapted from an earlier English version. The text comes from open scholarly sources.
