«Odas y Epodos» is the bilingual edition of Horace's lyric poems, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (472 pages, in Spanish).
The work brings together the lyric output of Quintus Horatius Flaccus, one of Rome's great poets. The Odes, inspired by Greek models such as Alcaeus, Sappho and Pindar, sit alongside the Epodes, more combative compositions that the author himself defined as iambics; the edition presents the original text with its Spanish translation, and the whole is both a historical testimony and an artistic paradigm of classical poetry.
The volume belongs to the Letras Universales collection from Ediciones Cátedra, with a bilingual edition by Manuel Fernández-Galiano and Vicente Cristóbal.
Aimed at readers of classical poetry and those approaching Latin literature with annotated editions and facing-page translation.
Quintus Horatius Flaccus, commonly known in the English-speaking world as Horace, was the leading Roman lyric poet during the time of Augustus. The rhetorician Quintilian regarded his Odes as the only Latin lyrics worth reading: "He can be lofty sometimes, yet he is also full of charm and grace, versatile in his figures, and felicitously daring in his choice of words."
