LATIN 6201
Advanced Readings in Latin Literature

Among the Roman poets, Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65-27 B.C.) is notable for his technical mastery, control, and polish. His tone ranges from civilized to acerbic. This course focuses on the Odes, with particular attention to the Third Book, and the Ars Poetica, a hexameter epistle in which Horace offers advice on composing poetry and drama. The influence of both works on poets, dramatists, and theorists continues to this day. While mastering his intricate and often daunting Latin, we will ask ourselves why.
