Odes and Epodes (Loeb Classical Library) ハードカバー – 2004/6/1
購入オプションとあわせ買い
Monumental verse.
The poetry of Horace (born 65 BC) is richly varied, its focus moving between public and private concerns, urban and rural settings, Stoic and Epicurean thought. The Loeb Classical Library edition of the great Roman poet’s Odes and Epodes boasts a faithful and fluid translation and reflects current scholarship.
Horace took pride in being the first Roman to write a body of lyric poetry. For models he turned to Greek lyric, especially to the poetry of Alcaeus, Sappho, and Pindar; but his poems are set in a Roman context. His four books of Odes cover a wide range of moods and topics. Some are public poems, upholding the traditional values of courage, loyalty, and piety; and there are hymns to the gods. But most of the Odes are on private themes: chiding or advising friends; speaking about love and amorous situations, often amusingly. Horace’s seventeen Epodes, which he called iambi, were also an innovation for Roman literature. Like the Odes they were inspired by a Greek model: the seventh-century iambic poetry of Archilochus. Love and political concerns are frequent themes; the tone is only occasionally aggressive. “In his language he is triumphantly adventurous,” Quintilian said of Horace; Niall Rudd’s translation reflects his different voices.

PURCHASE REMINDER STEMS FROM READING SOME THREE OF THE FINEST EDUCATIONAL, MIND CHALLENGING PUBLICATIONS TO DATE. FOR A READER OF ANY AGE UPWARD TO HOLDING A DOCTORATE IN ANY PROFESSION. WILL PROVIDE FROM A GENTLE BREEZE TO A NIAGARA RUSH OF THOUGHTS. "A TIME OF GIFTS", "BETWEEN THE WOODS AND THE WATERS" AND "THE BROKEN ROAD".....ALL AUTHORED BY PATRICK LEIGH FERMOR. IF ONE WOULD ACCEPT THIS HUMBLE WRITERS SUGGESTION, ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RUSH THROUGH, RESEARCH EACH UNKNOWN, ENJOY AS FERMOR ASSEMBLAGES WORDS IN SUCH A POWERFUL MIND SEARCHING MANNER, TRAVERSES SUBJECT AND TIME SPANS WITH SUCH EASE, CAUTION AND ALERTNESS REQUIRED. ESSENTIALLY, SO DIVERSE, FERMOR'S PAGES OF TEXT ARE A FOUNDATION FOR MANY HUNDREDS OF SHORT SIDE PATHS TO EACH NEW & REFRESHING VIEW. ONE MUST DIGEST THE COPY, ANY ATTEMPT TO CREATE DEFINITION IS BEYOND THIS WRITER, FEEL IT WOULD BE GREATLY INADEQUATE, ANY "FIRST" READER WILL EXPERIENCE GREATER ENLIGHTENMENT. PUBLICATIONS TO RE-READ THROUGH LIFE.
THE THREE PUBLICATIONS LISTED WERE GIFTS FROM A DOCTORATE FRIEND. SUPERB GIFTS.
I was delighted with Niall Rudd's honest and direct approach with the Odes and Epodes. He supplies his own title to each poem, a modest liberty which actually works felicitously. Very rarely he engages in minor invention to catch the spirit - for example in II.3.13 "Huc vina et unguenta ..." the "Huc" becomes "This is just the place", which I found delightful in the context despite my usual wariness of any such freedoms.
The introduction is not generous as regards the wider context of Horace's life and outlook - for that a really good recent publication is Harry Eyres' very fine "Horace and Me", which will have a much broader appeal than this. But here you get the full range of the Odes and Epodes, plus the Carmen Saeculare. Rudd is always intelligent, always faithful, always lucid and communicative - really this is exemplary. I recommend it unreservedly.
