One of the greatest lyrical poets, Horace (65-8 B.C.), inspired by the Greek lyrical poets, composed exquisite lyrical poems on various themes.
The most significant of these poems are the Odes (Carmina), which have been preserved in four Books. The themes of his Odes include friendship, love, the charms of nature, the customs of the ancestors, death, moderation, selflessness, piety, peace, hymns to the gods, praises of great men of his time, various events of his era, important or trivial incidents of his life, and other aspects of the private and public life of people in Roman society of his time, which, however, hold timeless value.
