Reading Satires | Alexandria
Read Satires by Horace. Skewering human hypocrisy with wit that feels ripped from today's headlines, Horace's Satires expose uncomfortable truths about power, wealth, and ego - including his own. His radical insight? True freedom comes from self-mockery and accepting our flaws, not from wealth or status. These poems pioneered confessional comedy centuries before social media made oversharing cool.
