Book Description:

Horace's book of Epodes comprises seventeen poems in different versions of the iambus, the metre traditionally associated with lampoon. David Mankin examines all aspects of Horace's relationship with his models and of the technical accomplishment of his verse, and places the Epodes firmly in their literary and historical context while also giving help with linguistic problems. This is the only commentary to provide a full and detailed interpretation in English.
