Horace Odes Book 4 and Carmen Saeculare

Course Description

Course Description: In 17 BC Horace was commissioned to write the Carmen Saeculare, performed at the Ludi Saeculares marking the beginning of a new age. This may have prompted him to return to lyric poetry; more than a decade after he had published his first three books of Odes as a collection, he published a fourth book of Odes, in which we see an older, more reflective Horace nearing the end of his life and career. DETAILS Level: Intermediate-Advanced. Intermediate to Advanced spoken Latin ability/experience. Textbook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0521587662?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title Sections capped at: 5 students. If the course is sold-out, please fill out this waiting-list form.
