In Classical Odes, Nicholas Hagger achieves a blend of poetry and history, of the traditions of Herodotus and Pausanias (both of whom visited classical sites) and of Virgil and Horace (who wrote of everyday life in the countryside).

Never before has Western's civilization's cultural legacy been captured in verse that has such contemporary relevance.
