Safety and efficacy of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine (AZD1222) against Sars-CoV-2
Background A safe and efficacious vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), if deployed with high coverage, could contribute to the control of the COVID-19 pandemic. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine in a pooled interim analysis of four trials. Methods This analysis includes data from four ongoing blinded, randomised, controlled trials done across the UK, Brazil, and South Afri…
To the Cool Grove
This chapter differentiates modern connotations of the term “ode” (which now overwhelmingly refers to a praise poem) from its sense in antiquity as a musical composition. A discussion of Odes 1.1 shows how Horace situates himself as the Roman counterpart to the canonical Greek lyric poets such as Sappho, Alcaeus, and Pindar. Several other aspects of “lyric” as defined by Horace are identified, such as verbal decorum, a flexibility of subject matt…
Lyric Revisited
This chapter deals with Horace’s late return to lyric, first in the Carmen saeculare , a ceremonial hymn commissioned by Augustus for a grand festival in 17 BCE, and then in the fourth book of Odes , a collection of fifteen poems that appeared around 13 BCE. The discussion of Odes 4 emphasizes differences between it and its lyric predecessor, among them Horace’s enhanced status in Rome and a more marked element of panegyric, much of it directed t…
Political Poems
About a fifth of the poems in Odes 1–3 can be categorized as political. They fall into three subgroups: poems dealing with the civil wars and their aftermath, poems that reflect on the current state of Rome, and poems relating to Rome and Augustus. This chapter discusses examples of each subgroup. Horace is seen as balancing support for Augustus with a measure of independence; that balance becomes more difficult to maintain the closer Horace come…
Odes 1–3
This chapter focuses on Horace’s first published collection of lyric poetry, a corpus of eighty-eight poems divided into three books, which appeared in 23 BCE or shortly thereafter. An argument is made for treating Odes 1–3 as a single unified collection rather than as a series of separately published books, and various forms of arrangement and patterning are discussed that support this argument. It is suggested that a development over the course…
Friendship and Advice
This chapter discusses a selection of the odes in which Horace offers some kind of advice, instruction, or exhortation, which form a distinct subset of Odes 1–3. The poems analyzed are Odes 1.24 (to Virgil), 2.10 (to Licinius), 1.9 (to Thaliarchus, the so-called Soracte Ode), 2.3 (to Dellius), 2.14 (to Postumus), and 1.20, 2.12, and 3.29 (all to Maecenas). The discussions illustrate Horace’s skill in treating common themes (e.g., life is short, s…
Before the Odes
After sketching the contours of the Roman literary scene at the start of Horace’s career, this chapter focuses on the two bodies of poetry that Horace produced before turning to the lyric poetry represented by the Odes : satires in two books and iambic poetry (also known as the Epodes). It is suggested that Horace’s relationship to the poetic personality required by those genres—the critic of society in the Satires and the poet of invective in th…
After the Odes 1
This chapter focuses on the collection of twenty verse letters that Horace published roughly three years after the appearance of Odes 1–3. Because they profess to be exercises in moral philosophy, the letters can be seen as a kind of generic ascent following the lyrics of the Odes . Differences between the Epistles and Odes 1–3 are highlighted, including the persons addressed and the range of themes treated. Particular attention is devoted to the…
After the Odes 2
This chapter focuses on the three long literary epistles that are Horace’s last works, addressed, respectively, to Augustus, to Julius Florus, and to the members of the Piso family (which, following Quintilian, has come to be known, somewhat misleadingly, as the Ars Poetica ). These verse letters are discussed with a view to showing that several of Horace’s general statements about poetry constitute an implicit commentary on his own lyric composi…
Amatory Poems
Horace’s love poetry is often faulted for its lack of passion. This chapter argues that Horace was deliberately taking an approach to amatory themes different from and opposed to the more romantic manner of Catullus and his elegiac successors such as Propertius. Horace’s more detached attitude and his enjoyment of short-term relationships are seen as consistent with his Epicurean stance. The following poems are discussed: Odes 1.5 (to Pyrrha), 1.…
Horace’s Life
This chapter offers a brief summary of what can be known of Horace’s life, based on information provided by Horace himself in his poetry and by an ancient biography that preserves material from the Lives of the Poets by Suetonius (early second century CE). It traces Horace’s remarkable progress from humble origins as the son of a freedman, through his brief service in the army of Brutus following the assassination of Julius Caesar, to a close ass…
Horace's Odes
Horace’s body of lyric poetry, the Odes , is one of the greatest achievements of Latin literature and a foundational text for the Western poetic tradition. These 103 exquisitely crafted poems speak in a distinctive voice—usually detached, often ironic, always humane—reflecting on the changing Roman world that Horace lived in and also on more universal themes of friendship, love, and mortality. This book introduces readers to the Odes by situating…

Latin Literature and its Transmission
This is a series of innovative studies in the textual and literary criticism of Latin literature, exploring how these two branches of the discipline are mutually supportive. The contributors include many leading scholars in the field. Individual essays are devoted to Catullus, Cicero, Horace, Lucretius, Ovid, Tacitus and Virgil, and there are also essays on the Renaissance reception of Virgil and on principles of editorial practice. The collectio…
Virgil
Book XII brings Virgil's Aeneid to a close, as the long-delayed single combat between Aeneas and Turnus ends with Turnus' death - a finale that many readers find more unsettling than triumphant. In this, the first detailed single-volume commentary on the book in any language, Professor Tarrant explores Virgil's complex portrayal of the opposing champions, his use and transformation of earlier poetry (Homer's in particular) and his shaping of the …
Lyricus vates
I first became aware of a connection between Horace's Odes and music as an undergraduate, when I read in Eduard Fraenkel's Horace that “not very long ago [i.e., from the perspective of the 1950s] it was the custom at many German schools to have the first stanza [of Odes 1.22, Integer vitae ] sung at the funeral services in Hall, to a tune not distinguishable from that of an ordinary church hymn; the tempo, needless to say, was molto adagio .” Fra…
Ancient receptions of Horace
Propertius to Statius The immediate impact of Horace’s poetry, especially Odes 1-3 and Epistles 1, can be measured by the reactions of his two most creative younger contemporaries. Propertius was acutely sensitive to new developments in Latin poetry, and his third collection of elegies, which probably appeared within a year or two of Odes 1-3, eagerly responds to this new literary phenomenon. In his opening lines he recalls Horace’s self-characte…
Horace and Roman literary history
Just as Horace appears the most forthcoming of Latin poets on the level of autobiography (see chapters 1 and 2 above), so too his statements of literary preference and affiliation are numerous and, on the surface, unambiguous. Those statements construct a picture that highlights his originality and shows scant regard for his Roman predecessors. He cites the description of Ennius as a 'second Homer' only to mock it, while the comic Plautus is blam…
The Cambridge Companion to Horace
Horace is a central author in Latin literature. His work spans a wide range of genres, from iambus to satire, and odes to literary epistle, and he is just as much at home writing about love and wine as he is about philosophy and literary criticism. He also became a key literary figure in the regime of the Emperor Augustus. In this 2007 volume a superb international cast of contributors present a stimulating and accessible assessment of the poet, …

Ovid and ancient literary history
Poets are fascinated by literary history, above all by their own place in it. In that respect Ovid is like his Roman predecessors and contemporaries, only more so: his references to other writers, and to his work in relation to theirs, are more numerous than those of any other Roman poet. To a degree this might be expected given the length of Ovid’s poetic career - more than forty years, from roughly the mid-20s bc to the late teens of the first …
Seneca's Thyestes
SYNOPSIS This tragedy is concerned with the revenge that Atreus (king of Argos) took on his brother Thyestes, luring him back from exile, killing his three sons and serving them up as a meal tohim. It takes the form of five acts separated by short odes in which the chorus comment onthe action. In act one a dreadful Fury (goddess of the Underworld) brings the tormented ghost of Tantalus (grandfather of Atreus and Thyestes) to Argos and compels it …

Da Capo Structure in Some Odes of Horace
The craftsmanship of Horace’s lyric poetry is universally admired., but the specifically structural element of these poems has so far received less attention than their verbal and metrical features. This may be in part because, as Robin Nisbet has observed, ’those brought up in a non-classical tradition tend to undervalue structural coherence’,1 partly as well because Horace’s manipulation of structural patterns can be so unobtrusive as to escape…
Aspects of Virgil's reception in antiquity
The celebrity of Virgil's works in the Roman world was immediate and lasting. The Aeneid enjoyed the rare distinction of being hailed as a canonical poem while it was still being written: 'something greater than the Iliad is being born' {nescioquid mains nascitur Iliade), wrote the elegist Propertius in the mid-20s, perhaps with a touch of irony, but anticipating the serious comparisons with Homer that would become conventional. Virgil's first ap…

The Cambridge Companion to Ovid
Ovid was one of the greatest writers of classical antiquity, and arguably the single most influential ancient poet for post-classical literature and culture. In this Cambridge Companion, chapters by leading authorities from Europe and North America discuss the backgrounds and contexts for Ovid, the individual works, and his influence on later literature and art. Coverage of essential information is combined with exciting critical approaches. This…
