Horace, a short biography

by J. W. Mackail

Overview

Quintus Horatius Flaccus (Dec. 8, 65 BC to Nov. 27m 8 BC), known in the English-speaking world as Horace, was the leading Roman lyric poet during the time of Augustus. The rhetorician Quintillian regarded his Odes as just about the only Latin lyrics worth reading: "He can be lofty sometimes, yet he is also full of charm and grace, versatile in his figures, and felicitously daring in his choice of words."
