The Odes of Horace (Johns Hopkins New Translations from Antiquity) ReviewDavid Ferry's translation is simply undeservedly popular and is absolutely NOT the best Horace in English currently in print!
I defy anyone to find Ferry's Horace superior to the wonderfully readable translation done recently by Sidney Alexander and published in Princeton University Press's Lockert Library of Poetry in Translation. Richard Howard, translator extraordinaire himself, has written a short Preface for the volume, in which he compares a passage from Alexander's work to other versions of the same passage done by Pound, Michie, and Burton Raffel, and Howard justly judges that Alexander's is the "far superior text."
Ferry's language is too often simply muddled, the syntax unclear. Do yourself a great favor, buy the Sidney Alexander translation, and you'll be rewarded with a vastly more enjoyable reading experience!The Odes of Horace (Johns Hopkins New Translations from Antiquity) Overview
