About Horace
Quintus Horatius Flaccus, known in English as Horace, was the son of a freed slave who became one of the great poets of Rome under the emperor Augustus.
His Odes, Satires and Epistles are witty, warm and practical, full of advice about friendship, moderation and enjoying the present, and they have supplied European languages with dozens of phrases.
