| Summary | "Oodit, Karmen-Seekulaare ja Epoodit" by Horace is a collection of poetry written in the late 1st century BC. This work features various forms of lyrical, philosophical, and satirical poetry that reflect the themes of love, nature, and the human experience in ancient Roman life. The dominant voices in the collection include Horace himself, as well as several notable figures of his time, providing a rich tapestry of social commentary and artistic expression. The opening of the book provides an introduction to Horace and his works, setting a scholarly tone with reflections on the challenges of translating classical texts. It begins with a preface explaining the author's intentions in presenting this compilation, including the complexities of the original language and the need for modern interpretations. Following this, there’s a brief biographical sketch of Horace, detailing his life, educational background, and rise to fame within Roman literature.
