As his genius matured, Horace's themes turned from personal vilification to more generalized satire and to literary criticism. He gives a vivid picture of contemporary Roman society and represents especially the spirit of the Augustan age of RomeÑa time of peace, when the arts were cultivated earnestly without pretense. He had much influence on European poetry.
