Odes is a collection of lyrical poems by the Roman poet Horace. Published in 1998 by Orbis, this book presents a selection of Horace's most representative odes, with the original text in Latin and its translation into Spanish. The work offers a vision of Roman society and the values of the time, through the poetry of one of its greatest exponents.
Quintus Horatius Flaccus, commonly known in the English-speaking world as Horace, was the leading Roman lyric poet during the time of Augustus. The rhetorician Quintilian regarded his Odes as the only Latin lyrics worth reading: "He can be lofty sometimes, yet he is also full of charm and grace, versatile in his figures, and felicitously daring in his choice of words."
