The Complete Odes and Epodes

Horace (65-8 bc) was one of the greatest poets of the Golden or Augustan age of Latin literature, a master of precision and irony who brilliantly transformed early Greek iambic and lyric poetry into sophisticated Latin verse of outstanding beauty. Offering allusive and exquisitely crafted insights into the brief joys of the present and the uncertain nature of the future, his Odes and Epodes explore such diverse themes as the virtues of pastoral life, the joys of wine, friendship and love, and the poet's personal anguish following Brutus' defeat at the battle of Phillipi. Ranging from subtle and tender hymns to the gods to bawdy celebrations of human passions, they remain among the most influential of all poems, inspiring poets from the Roman era to the European Renaissance, the Enlightenment and beyond.ReviewEpodes: 1Epodes: 10Epodes: 11Epodes: 12Epodes: 13Epodes: 14Epodes: 16Epodes: 17Epodes: 2Epodes: 3Epodes: 4Epodes: 5Epodes: 6Epodes: 8Epodes: 9Epopdes: 15Ode Ii, 14Odes I, 1Odes I, 10Odes I, 11Odes I, 12Odes I, 13Odes I, 14Odes I, 15Odes I, 16Odes I, 17Odes I, 18Odes I, 19Odes I, 2Odes I, 20Odes I, 21Odes I, 22Odes I, 23Odes I, 24Odes I, 25Odes I, 26Odes I, 27Odes I, 28Odes I, 29Odes I, 3Odes I, 30Odes I, 31Odes I, 32Odes I, 33Odes I, 34Odes I, 35Odes I, 36Odes I, 37Odes I, 38Odes I, 4Odes I, 5Odes I, 6Odes I, 7Odes I, 8Odes I, 9Odes Ii, 1Odes Ii, 10Odes Ii, 11Odes Ii, 12Odes Ii, 13Odes Ii, 15Odes Ii, 16Odes Ii, 17Odes Ii, 18Odes Ii, 19Odes Ii, 2Odes Ii, 20Odes Ii, 3Odes Ii, 4Odes Ii, 5Odes Ii, 6Odes Ii, 7Odes Ii, 8Odes Ii, 9Odes Iii, 1Odes Iii, 10Odes Iii, 11Odes Iii, 12Odes Iii, 13Odes Iii, 14Odes Iii, 15Odes Iii, 16Odes Iii, 17Odes Iii, 18Odes Iii, 19Odes Iii, 2Odes Iii, 20Odes Iii, 21Odes Iii, 22Odes Iii, 23Odes Iii, 24Odes Iii, 25Odes Iii, 26Odes Iii, 27Odes Iii, 28Odes Iii, 29Odes Iii, 3Odes Iii, 30Odes Iii, 4Odes Iii, 5Odes Iii, 6Odes Iii, 7Odes Iii, 8Odes Iii, 9Odes Iv, 1Odes Iv, 10Odes Iv, 11Odes Iv, 12Odes Iv, 13Odes Iv, 14Odes Iv, 15Odes Iv, 2Odes Iv, 3Odes Iv, 4Odes Iv, 5Odes Iv, 6Odes Iv, 7Odes Iv, 8Odes Iv, 9Odes, Book IiiOdes, Book IvSecular HymnSecular Hymn-- Table of Poems from Poem Finder®Language NotesText: English, Latin (translation)
