Satires (Horace) In his "Sermones" (Latin for "conversations") or "Satires" (Latin for "miscellaneous poems"), Horace combines Epicurean, that is, originally Greek philosophy with Roman good sense to convince his readers of the futility and silliness of their ambitions and desires. As an alternative, he proposes a life that is based on the Greek philosophical ideals of "autarkeia" (Greek for "inner self-sufficiency") and "metriotes" (Greek for "moderation" or sticking to the Just Mean). In "S." 1.6.110–131, Horace illustrates what he means by describing a typical day in his own simple, but contented life.
Satires (Horace) The second book also addresses the fundamental question of Greek Hellenistic philosophy, the search for a happy and contented life. In contrast to "Satires" I, however, many of this book's poems are dialogues in which the poet allows a series of pseudo-philosophers, such as the bankrupt art-dealer turned Stoic philosopher Damasippus, the peasant Ofellus, the mythical seer Teiresias, and the poet's own slave Dama, to espouse their philosophy of life, in satiric contrast to that of the narrator.
Satires (Horace) Satire 1.1, "Qui fit, Maecenas" ("How come, Maecenas"), targets avarice and greed.
Satires (Horace) Satire 1.9, "Ibam forte Via Sacra" ("I happened to be walking on the Sacred Way"), the famous encounter between Horace and the Boor, relates another funny story of a last-minute delivery from an overpowering enemy.
Satires (Horace) Horace is accosted by an ambitious flatterer and would-be poet who hopes that Horace will help him to worm his way into the circle of Maecenas' friends. Horace tries in vain to get rid of the Boor. He assures him that this is not how Maecenas and his friends operate. Yet he only manages to get rid of him, when finally a creditor of the Boor appears and drags him off to court, with Horace offering to serve as a witness (74–78).
