Satureiano A fine horse bred in the pastures of Saturium iu Calabria, near Tarentum, according to Servius on Georg. ii. 197-The Scholiast Porphyrion says it was a place in Apulia. The lengthening of the antepenult is required by the metre. Others explain Saturi Tarenti in the above passage of Virgil from Saturus being a divinity particularly worshipped by the Tarentines. (Cic. in Verr. ii. 460.) This would make 'Sat. caballo ' merely a Tarentine horse. 64. ted vita el pectore puro. 1 Not as being the son of a distinguished father, but because my life and heart were pure.' So I understand the words. Orelli says this interpretation is "prorsus imperita," anil applies ' vita et pectore puro' to the father, 'as born of a father not distinguished, but of life and heart pure.' I do not think Maecenas considered what was the character of Horace's father, but what was his own.

Eugene O'Connor's superb translation of Antonio Panormita's Hermaphroditus brings to life this little known Renaissance writer 's bawdy masterpiece. Modeled on the writings of the Roman poet Martial, Panormita's work was initially greeted with enthusiasm by humanist scholars upon publication in 1425 only to be reviled and censured as obscene by Christian apologists. O'Connor's excellent introduction offers a wealth of historical and literary information on Panormita's often profane poetry, presented here in both English and the Latin original. This new translation will be a delight to classical, neo-Latin, and Renaissance scholars interested in tracing the development of the epigram from Latin to the vernacular, and to scholars of gender and gay studies seeking to understand the popular portrayal of women and sexual themes in the early Renaissance.
