商品簡介
A specialist in Latin poet Horace (65-8 BC), Johnson (classics, College of Charleston) describes how his iambic verse in Epodes, though superficially a partisan attack on enemies of the recently triumphant Octavian, is also a criticism of civil war and those who foment it. He discusses not hunting down Lykambes; society, iambic rage and self-destruction, rage--repression--rage in iambic responsions; Horace's lying lyre; his iambic to lyric re/cantation; and critical pluralities. Quotations are in Latin followed by English prose translation. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
