Horace is a book written by Theodore Martin that offers a comprehensive account of the life and works of the Roman poet, Quintus Horatius Flaccus, commonly known as Horace. The book delves into Horace's upbringing, education, and career as a poet, as well as his relationships with other prominent figures of his time, including Virgil and Augustus Caesar.The author explores Horace's literary style and themes, including his use of satire, humor, and philosophical musings. Martin also analyzes Horace's most famous works, such as the Odes and the Satires, providing insightful commentary and interpretation.In addition to examining Horace's literary achievements, the book also sheds light on the historical and cultural context in which he lived, offering a glimpse into the political and social landscape of ancient Rome.Overall, Horace is a well-researched and engaging book that provides a thorough understanding of one of the most influential poets of the ancient world.Horace himself had manifestly watched the angry surges from the cliffs of Lebedos. But a more interesting record of the Asiatic campaign, inasmuch as it is probably the earliest specimen of Horace's writing which we have, occurs in the Seventh Satire of the First Book. Persius, a rich trader of Clazomene, has a lawsuit with Rupilius, one of Brutus's officers, who went by the nickname of ""King."" Brutus, in his character of quaestor, has to decide the dispute, which in the hands of the principals degenerates, as disputes so conducted generally do, into a personal squabble.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
