Details: Inspiring poets from Ben Jonson and Alexander Pope to W. H. Auden and Robert Frost, the writings of Horace 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 contemporarieseven the ruling emperor, Nero. The Satires of Horace, written in the troubled decade ending with the establishment of Augustuss regime, provide an amusing treatment of mens perennial enslavement to money, power, glory, and sex. Epistles I, addressed to the poets friends, deals with the problem of achieving contentment amid the complexities of urban life, while Epistles II and the Ars Poetica discuss Latin poetryits history and social functions, and the craft required for its success.
