a good article from The Inquirer

Sunday morning was I ever delighted to come across a review of books by two of my favorite writers, translator David Hinton and the marvelous classicist, poet, and translator, Ann Carson.
This is worth reading. It should also prick your interest in the new anthology of Horace's Odes, a foundational text of Roman literature.
Most exciting to me is the staging of Carson's translation of Aeschylus' Oresteia. To bad it is for members only. But perhaps it will go public someday.
