Epicureism şi stoicism în odele lui Horaţiu
Epicureanism and Stoicism in Horace's Odes

Summary/Abstract: Inspired by the Greek lyric poetry of the VII-VI century BC, Horace appears in Carmina in a two-fold state: as a poet living in an age of major changes, as such of Augustus was, and as a singer,keen on escaping from the reality of public life.The battle betwen negotium and otium prevails as a theme of the odes.In fact,there is a host of worldwide acknowledged themes and motifs that are apparent in the Odes: the rejection of the fear of death and that of the passing of time, the advocacy for the calm, which brings pleasure, the tribute to genuine frindship.Horace is a disciple of the two philosophical trends, epicureanism and stoicism,fact which provides his work with a multitude of significances and renders it a contemporary quality.
