Reviews

Insgesamt ist der Companion sehr zu empfehlen: Einsteiger auf dem Gebiet der Horazforschung oder der augusteischen Dichtung, fur die alle Zitate auch in Ubersetzung angefuhrt sind, werden eine verlassliche Orientierung zu den verschiedenen Gattungen sowie zu fast allen Gedichten finden; aber auch Kenner der Materie werden zahlreiche neue und stimulierende Einblicke gewinnen konnen. Johannes Breuer, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2013.12.09
