Odes and Epodes. Satires and Epistles

The glorious, "rich in rhythms" lyricist, the author of colorful "Satires" and philosophical "Epistles" Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65-8 BC) left behind a poetic mosaic of life unique in its diversity, whose colors and tones vividly resonate with the realities of our days.

Adopted by the ideas of the freedom-loving Hellenes, the singer of the balance of the spirit and mental climate is the brightest exponent of the entire Greco-Roman culture. A sensual and virtuoso lyricist, a wistfully smiling thinker and theoretician of poetry, he had a colossal impact on European, including Ukrainian, culture. "I am a man, and nothing human is alien to me," Terentius could justifiably say about himself and Horace; that is why it is interesting and close to the reader of all times.

An updated, complete, richly annotated translation of Horace's works in Ukrainian is being published for the first time.
