The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace by Horace
QR code
"The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace" by Horace is a collection of Latin lyric poems published between 23 BC and 13 BC. Modeled on Greek poets like Pindar, Sappho, and Alcaeus, these 103 odes adapt ancient forms to Roman life under Augustus. The poems explore love, friendship, wine, religion, morality, and patriotism, while celebrating the uncertainty of life and the golden mean. From "carpe diem" to "nunc est bibendum," Horace's verses
sparkle with studied spontaneity and timeless wisdom. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
