Synopsis

Horace is a biography of the Roman poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus, written by Theodore Martin. The book explores the life of Horace, from his birth in Venusia to his education in Rome and subsequent career as a poet. It delves into his relationships with other famous figures of his time, including Virgil and Augustus, and his experiences during the civil wars that plagued Rome during his lifetime. The book also provides an analysis of Horace's poetry, examining his themes, style, and influence on later poets. Overall, Horace is a comprehensive and insightful look into the life and work of one of the greatest poets of ancient Rome.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.
