«Epodes» brings together seventeen poems written with irony and published around 30 BC, including biting satires, patriotic reflections on Rome's destiny, love odes, literary and political disputes, critiques of public figures, and everyday matters.

For readers interested in classical Latin poetry and Roman satire.
Quintus Horatius Flaccus, commonly known in the English-speaking world as Horace, was the leading Roman lyric poet during the time of Augustus. The rhetorician Quintilian regarded his Odes as 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."
