Horace publishes a second book of Satires …
Years: 30BCE - 30BCE
Horace publishes a second book of Satires in 30 BCE, using the two to revive a Latin form originated a century earlier by Lucilius and widening its poetic range.
He substitutes the unrestrained vituperations of Lucilius for Horace’s own gentle irony about shortcomings everyone possesses and should confront.
The Epodes belong to the iambic genre of 'blame poetry', as practiced by Archilochus, and it seems that Horace wrote them like his literary hero in order to shame his fellow citizens into a proper sense of their social responsibilities.
