The Complete Odes (Oxford World's Classics)

Buon libro, traduzioni inglesi abbastanza fedeli rispetto all'originale, anche se non sempre.Completano il libro un minimale apparato di note e una breve introduzione.

The packing (a simple plastic film) was too much thin to deaden a shock during the transportation : the book arrived with a general folding.All the other criteria are OK, and the price was very attractive. R

This was very helpful in my last essay, well set out and easy to follow. I would recommend to all students.

I am not able to compare the trans. with others, this being my only one, in any language. I find Anthony Verity's trans. very accessible and at the same time in its own way quite beautiful. Stephen Instone's intro and notes are excellent, they bring the odes to live."Become who you are" (Pythian 2) was Nietzsche's favourite motto, and reading Pindar one can totally see why. It is great to see the quote in its original context.

Nothing wrong with the book, I needed it for class and it took 3 weeks to ship.
