Narration Conducive To Books Satires, Epistles and Ars Poetica

In the two books of "Satires" Horace is a moderate social critic and commentator; the two books of "Epistles" are more intimate and polished, the second book being literary criticism as is also the "Ars Poetica." The "Epodes" in various (mostly iambic) metres are akin to the 'discourses' (as Horace called his satires and epistles) but also look towards the famous "Odes," in four books, in the old Greek lyric metres used with much skill. Some are national odes about public affairs; some are pleasant poems of love and wine; some are moral letters; all have a rare perfection.

Article Out Of Books Satires, Epistles and Ars Poetica

Realmente lo que he leído ha sido el Ars Poetica, que ya había leído antes de forma fragmentada, y el libro ha acabado lleno de post-its. Qué necesario es leer a los clásicos, qué actuales son aunque no lo parezca.

"I prefer dozing to writing!" Reading this as part of my MSc dissertation, so it's probable I'll need to reread it in the future so I can take more time appreciating the individual poems. Some of these really made me think, but mainly was interesting to see how relatable and understandable some of these sentiments were despite the age of them!! Makes you think about how little humans have really changed.

quote " a mediocrity in poets neither gods, nor men, nor [even] the booksellers' shops have endured."

More merit flows for the scholars, less for the common folk. Still wisdom found and worthy at that. Much like going though a storage file of one's lost letter, documents.

If you're looking for Horace's description of his infamous wet dream, go straight to number 5, and when you're done, so to speak, finish off with the rest.

Not easy, but worth the effort.

I am reading this because I finished Ovid's Amores <1> and wanted more Latin poetry. Sadly, while Horace and Bovie (the translator) have their moments, this volume is to the Amores what Pericles, Prince of Tyre is to The Tempest.
