What are the famous poems of Horace?
There are 2 volumes of satirical poems, 4 volumes of long and short sentences, 4 volumes of songs, 2 volumes of songs of the century and letters. Satire and short sentences are both early works, which may have been written at the same time. Horace claimed to have inherited the tradition of Roman satirical poems, but his satirical poems lacked political color, mainly advocated morality, mocked meanness, greed, fraud, lewdness and other bad habits in the form of small talk, and advocated the doctrine of the mean and reasonable enjoyment. Long and short sentences are two-line poems whose second line is one step less than the first line, which shows a certain tendency in content. The first three volumes of Song were published in 23 BC, with a total of 88 songs, most of which are lyric poems describing love, friendship, wine and music. The first to sixth songs in the third volume are also called Roman Odes, praising Augustus and the revival of Rome under his rule, with elegant and solemn style. The themes of many poems in songji are similar to satirical poems, and they all advocate the ideal of staying away from worldly troubles and keeping inner peace and contentment. These poems are philosophical, lyrical, mythical and allusive, with rich associations and vivid images, which are quite touching to read. The fourth volume of songji was published in 13 BC, with *** 15 poems, which praised Augustus more in content. Song of the Century was commissioned by Augustus in BC 17 to celebrate the century, wishing Rome prosperity and praising Augustus' rule. The style is harmonious, beautiful and solemn. The first volume of the letter was written in 23-20 BC, and the main content is still the philosophy of life. The second volume is all related to literary criticism, especially the third volume, commonly known as "poetic art", which has become a famous piece of European classical literary theory. On the basis of rich poetry creation practice, the poet talked about artistic imitation, the relationship between art and life, the educational role of literature and art, the poet's cultivation and other issues, which had a great influence on later European literary theory.
