Description and Table of Contents
Description
The work of Roman poet, Horatius Flaccus (65 BC to 8 BC), spanned all aspects of Roman life: politics, the arts, religion, and the authority of the emperor, while his poems about friendship, philosophy, love and sex still have considerable appeal. This biography attempts to present a complete picture of Horace's life and world. It considers the details of Horace's romantic liasons and why he never married, what the status of his father - a freedman - meant to the poet, and his distinctive brand of philosophy.
