A Commentary On Horace'S Epodes

Horace's "Epodes" reflect as no other work of Latin poetry does the crisis afflicting Rome in the 40s and 30s BC, as it passed from a republican to a monarchical system. In its 17 poems, various bogeys which were perceived as instrumental to societal breakdown are outspokenly attacked.
