This book introduces readers to Quintus Horatius Flaccus, a Roman poet, satirist, and writer of the Augustan Age, who is considered one of the greatest Latin writers. The book contains three books of Odes, a collection of Epodes, and two books of Satires, as well as a Carmen Saeculare, all of which are marked by supreme metrical dexterity, wit, and reveal the author's refined, unique, and engaging voice. An enthusiastic participant in the vivid literary scene surrounding his patron, Maecenas, the author's pen was highly influential to the development of Latin poetry, and his work is still enjoyed today for its elegant simplicity and wry observation of human behaviour.
