Satires and Epistles of Horace and Satires of Persius Paperback - 2005
by Horace; Persius; Niall Rudd (Translator)
Inspiring poets from Ben Jonson and Alexander Pope to W. H. Auden and Robert Frost, the writings ofHorace and Persius have had a powerful influence on later Western literature. The Satires of Persius are highly idiosyncratic, containing a courageous attack on the poetry and morals of his wealthy contemporaries even the ruling emperor, Nero. The Satires of Horace, written in the troubled decade ending with the establishment ofAugustus's regime, provide an amusing treatment of men's perennial enslavement to money, power, glory, and sex. Epistles I, addressed to the poet's friends, deals with the problem of achieving contentment amid the complexities of urban life, while Epistles II and the Ars Poetica discuss Latin poetry its history and social functions, and the craft required for its success.
