 Horace: The Odes and Epodes (Loeb Classical Library #33) - Book
Horace: The Odes and Epodes (Loeb Classical Library #33)
Loebs are excellent translations of the ancient passages and include the original on the previous page, so that you may have the latin (or Greek) on one page then the english on the next.
This particular Loeb was translated back in 1914 and is somewhat "fluffy"-it is literal in someplaces yet very artistically translated in others.

Although some serious classicists turn up their nose at the Loebs (which have only a minimal apparatus criticus) as amateurish, and many non-classicists, conversely, are unimpressed by the relatively pedestrian prose style of the English translations (necessary because of the desire to remain as literal as possible), the Loeb editions are nonetheless ubiquitous.

For some, to read a Greek text in a Loeb edition is an act of sacrilege for which burning at the stake is not sufficient punishment.
Amusingly, the one person I know who is most vociferously against the Loeb series was quite upset when, a few months ago, I ran into him at a university bookstore and found, horror of horrors, that he was purchasing a Loeb.
Every generation must have its own translations of Homer, but a good place for an aspiring translator to start will always be the Loeb library: translations facing the original Greek, a reasonable price, a cover design that doesnt try to look especially modern.

lt;br /gt; lt;br /gt;In sum, the Loeb editions are invaluable in the sense of supplying the Greek (or Latin) original alongside a translation and thus indispensable to lovers of the ancient languages.
Unlike other publishers (for example Penguin) the Loeb seems truer to the original Greek, although my skill at reading ancient Greek is by no means exceptional; however, I can honestly tell a difference between the Loeb and the economy-translations.
I recommend the Loeb version to anyone seeking not just an excellent translation but a piece to add to their library as well.

Still, there are incomplete lines and thoughts, and occasional conflicts in the storyline that one assumes might have been worked out in the end, had more editing time been available.
As a student preparing for the "AP Latin: Vergil" exam largely on my own, I can say from experience that this book is a great tool for students, regardless of the intensity at which you are studying Vergil.
Because there are no vocabulary words or footnotes, the Loeb cannot be used alone by a student first learning Vergil.

Needless to say, I have no such prejudice against the Loeb series and find certain volumes to be quite helpful in learning Greek.
Unfortunately, many of the translations that come alongside the Greek texts in the Loeb series are not particulalry faithful to the original text and are therefore useless if one is looking for a simple crib to help construe the meaning of this or that word or construction.
Fortunately, the translation for the Loeb edition of the Odyssey is a great crib.

 Plato: Timaeus, Critias, Cleitophon, Menexenus, Epistles (Loeb Classical Library No. 234)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Like most volumes in the Loeb series, the emphasis is not on word-for-word precision in the translation, but on acheiving greater readability in broader terms.
Since the original text in ancient Greek is provided on the facing page, the editors assume that anyone with a little knowledge of Greek can supplement the looseness of the translation by referring to the original.
The inclusion of the Epistles along with the Cleitophon and Menexenus may seem a little miscellaneous, but these are fine translations of interesting texts.

It is in anticipation of finding similar gems that we approach this volume of the Loeb Classical Library containing "Fragments" of the work of Sophocles.
Lloyd-Jones also did the translations for the first two Sophocles volumes in the Loeb Classical Library and as is the case with this entire library you have the original Greek text on the left-page and the translation on the right.
Certainly it is frustrating to read bits and pieces, trying to connect the dots and imagine what these plays would have been like, and if I had the talent and the time I would love to be able to try and reconstruct some of these tragedies.
