  • "A collection of lyric poetry by the Roman poet Horace."@en
  • "Horace (65-8 B.C.) is one of the most important and brilliant poets of the Augustan Age of Latin literature whose influence on European literature is unparalleled. Steeped in allusion to contemporary affairs, Horace's verse is best read in terms of his changing relationship to the public sphere. While the Odes are subtle and allusive, the Epodes are robust and coarse in their celebrations of sex and tirades against political leaders. This edition also includes the Secular Hymn and Suetonius's "Life of Horace." - Publisher."
  • "Horace (65-8 BC) was one of the greatest of all lyric poets. He enjoyed the friendship and support of the rulers of the Roman world and praised them without forfeiting his independence of spirit. He admired Greek poetry and emulated it in his own distinctive love poems, which are the more effective for being understated, and the Odes and Epodes are subtle, robust, and laced with a complex sense of humour."@en
