The Latin text of Books I and II of Horace's Odes is included along with notes for each word. The notes give complete grammatical, syntactical, mythological, geographical, historical, and vocabulary information. A literal translation of each ode is included at the back of the book. Each word is fully parsed in the notes at the bottom of each page. The lines of the odes are numbered sequentially beginning with Ode 1, Book I through Ode 20, Book II. The sequential numbering is a unique aid to finding the English translation of the line of Latin in the translation section at the back of the book. These aids should be exceedingly helpful to teachers who are faced with the daunting task of teaching Horace's Odes, especially the first time.
