Book Overview

Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace is a collection of poems written by the ancient Roman poet Horace. The book contains a total of 88 odes, which are divided into four books, and one long hymn called the Carmen Saeculare. Horace's odes are known for their lyrical quality and their focus on themes such as love, friendship, nature, and the passage of time. The Carmen Saeculare, on the other hand, is a hymn that was written to celebrate the secular games that were held in Rome every 110 years.
