This fully annotated Latin edition, by Daniel H. Garrison, of Horace s "Epodes, Odes," and "Carmen Saeculare" is the first comprehensive English commentary on these works since 1903. The full text of the "Epodes" is included and placed before the "Odes," as it was originally written and published. Garrison offers help with meter, vocabulary, and difficult points of grammar. For advanced students, he place Horace against the background of archaic and Hellenistic Greek poetry, demonstrates the poet s debt to Catullus, and illuminates Horace s relation to his contemporaries, particularly...

Personality disorder is rife in Ghana.

But after many, many months of hospitalization and rehab--with the help of family, friends, and her own...

Think of these poems as postcards from the road, by poets who've gotten carried away by a particular place-a town in Kansas, a kitchen window in...

More Civil War Curiosities contains strange but true stories from the four-year conflict that raged across a one-thousand-mile battle front with more than three million men in uniform. Anything could and often did happen. Webb Garrison recounts instances of friendly fire casualties, the unperfected art of spying, banishments and deportings, grisly tales of missing limbs, name changes for both people and ships, disguises that worked (and some that did not), and many -firsts- and -lasts.-

Fragging, or purposely killing a fellow soldier, was the probable cause of the death of...
