Published circa 18 BCE, Horace's "Epistula Ad Pisones" (Epistle to the Pisos) was given its enduring title "Ars Poetica" by literary critics after his death. Written in verse, in the form of a letter to the oldest of the two sons of Lucius Calpurnius Piso, advising him on writing poetry, with a particular emphasis on drama. From the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and up to the present, the "Ars Poetica" remains one of the most influential works of its kind.
