A detailed introduction covers the prescribed text to be read in English, placing the poems in their Roman literary context.Horace was the finest lyric poet in Latin and these four of the six ¿Roman Odes¿, written in the early years of the rule of the first Roman emperor Augustus, show his poetic power at full stretch.
