Satiren

by Quintus Horatius Flaccus

Diese Ausgabe der Satiren von Horaz, herausgegeben im Jahr 1893, bietet Einblicke in das Werk eines der bedeutendsten römischen Dichter der Augusteischen Zeit. Die Satiren, die Horaz selbst als „Sermones“ bezeichnete, sind Gespräche in Hexametern, die sich mit verschiedenen Themen beschäftigen, darunter die Kritik am römischen Lebensstil, die Suche nach einem ethischen Leben und die Reflexion über die menschliche Natur. Horaz verwendet dabei einen humorvollen Ton und scheut sich nicht, Laster und Schwächen seiner Zeitgenossen aufzudecken. Seine Werke sind ein wertvolles Zeugnis der römischen Kultur und Philosophie und bieten gleichzeitig eine zeitlose Reflexion über die Herausforderungen des menschlichen Daseins.
