"Stuart Lyons has made a superb translation of Horace, that most sophisticated of Roman Voices. Over and over, Lyons' chooice of word or phrase seems brilliantly right, even inspired. This is a wonderful rendering of one of the great, central poets in the European tradition." - Professor Max Byrd University of California

"First rate" - The Classical Outlook

"Brings it off in fine style. It will enable poetry lovers to drink from the Horatian spring" - Sir Jeremy Morse

"A collection that is as readable and thought provoking today as it was when it was written two thousand years ago." - Christine E. King Vice-Chancellor Staffordshire University

Stuart Lyons was a scholar at Rugby School and senior Classics scholar at King's College, Cambridge. He has an MA from Cambridge University and an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from Keele University. He is Governor of Staffordshire University.
