Publisher's Synopsis
The Odes of Horace in a Metrical Paraphrase is a book written by the ancient Roman poet Horace. Originally published in 23 BC, this edition was translated into English by an unknown author in 1874. The book contains a collection of 87 poems, or odes, written in the traditional lyric style of ancient Greece and Rome. The odes cover a variety of topics, including love, friendship, nature, philosophy, and politics. The English translation is presented in a metrical paraphrase, which means that the translator attempted to capture the rhythm and structure of the original Latin verse while also conveying the meaning in English. This book is a valuable resource for students of classical literature and anyone interested in the works of Horace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
