The satires explored in this volume are some of the trickiest poems
of ancient Rome's trickiest poet. Horace was an ironist, sneaky
smart, and prone to hiding things under the surface. His Latin is
dense and difficult. The challenges posed by these satires are
especially acute because their voices, messages, and stylistic
habits are many, and their themes range from the poet's anxieties
about the limits of satiric free speech in the first poem to the
ridiculous excesses of an outrageously overdone dinner party in the
last. For students working at intermediate and advanced levels of
Latin, this book makes the satires of Horace's second book of
Sermones readable by explaining difficult issues of grammar,
syntax, word-choice, genre, period, and style. For scholars who
already know these poems well, it offers fresh insights into what
satire is, and how these poems communicate as uniquely 'Horatian'
expressions of the genre.
