Horace: Satires
01/27/2021
The Satires (Latin: Sermones) of Horace, are a series of poems written in the 30s BCE, collected in two books. They were Horace's first published work, and by the time the second volume appeared, he had been introduced by his friend Virgil into the literary circle around Augustus' advisor Maecenas.
Roman satire was an original Latin genre with no direct Greek precedent, and Horace's work represents the oldest fully extant example.
