Odes And Epodes

Odes and Epodes is a collection of poems by the ancient Roman poet Horace. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part containing 20 odes and the second part containing 17 epodes. The odes are lyrical poems that celebrate various aspects of life, including love, friendship, nature, and the gods. They are written in a variety of meters and styles, and often feature complex wordplay and allusions to classical mythology. The epodes, on the other hand, are shorter, more satirical poems that often mock the vices and follies of contemporary society. They are written in a simpler meter and style, and are often more direct and humorous than the odes. Together, the poems in Odes and Epodes offer a rich and varied portrait of life in ancient Rome, as seen through the eyes of one of its greatest poets.Cum tu, Lydia, Telephi Cervicem roseam, cerea Telephi Laudas bracchia, vae meum Fervens difficili bile tumet iecur.
