His four books cover a wide range of moods and topics: friendship is the dominant theme of about a third of the poems; a great many deal with love and amorous situations, often amusingly; others deal with patriotic and political themes. The seventeen epodes, which Horace called iambi, were also inspired by a Greek model: the seventh century iambic poetry of Archilochus. As in the odes, love and politics are frequent themes; some of the epodes also display mockery and ridicule, of a harsher variety than we find in Horaces satires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brand: Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44989186211893,"sku":"ByrdShop_0674990374","price":225.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780674990371_8c804c58-d130-471a-93f8-059a6f9e0cce.jpg?v=1778897469","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/odes-and-epodes-loeb-classical-library-9780674990371","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
