- Title
THE FOX AND THE BEE: HORACE'S FIRST BOOK OF EPISTLES.
- Authors
Trinacty, Christopher
- Abstract
The article critiques the book "Epistles" by Horace. The author focuses on the reiteration of language and the use of animal fables in the work, and how they reflect Horace's style. He suggests that repetition of language and imagery allows for a critical comparison and animal fables offer folk wisdom and morals.
