Opera (Scriptorum Classicorum Bibliotheca Oxoniensis)2 reviews
Virgil

Oxford University Press, USA, 1969

An Excellent Edition

+ superb text, not for beginners

It would, of course, be folly of the highest order to give a critique of the Aeneid itself; by the number of years through which it has survived alone, it is justified. It is an unquestionable literary achievement, indeed, a monument of Western Civilization. This edition is a superb one for the ...

The Second Half of the Iliad in Greek

The companion to Monro's first volume, Iliad I-XII, this is classical scholarship at its best and most essential.

De Rerum Natura (Oxford Classical Texts Series)1 review
Lucretius

Oxford University Press, USA, 1922

The best Lucretius

Lucretius isn't an author most come across, but nevertheless the DE RERVM NATVRA is truly a classic. In it he explains his version of epicureanism, taken from Epicurus and tweaked by Lucretius himself. Don't think our word 'epicurean' and this epicureanism are the same thing: epicurean has taken ...

Jason and the ship of dreams

+ Great book for mythology lovers!

I read this story in Greek Mythology in university. Jason is some kind of wise man. His father was a doctor. The Argonauts are a band of wise men, doctors, shamans, augurers, omen-readers, and shape-changers. The Argo is a ship of dreams. The name Jason has become very popular. I often ask ...

P. Ovidi Nasonis Metamorphoses (Oxford Classical Texts)
Ovid

Oxford University Press, USA, 2004

For this edition of the Metamorphoses R. J. Tarrant has freshly collated the oldest fragments and manuscripts and has drawn more fully than previous editors on the twelfth-century manuscripts, the earliest extant witnesses to many potentially original readings. He has also given more scope to conjecture than other recent editors, and has been readier than his predecessors to identify certain ...
