Excerpt from The Gardens of Aphrodite At the conclusion of a war long since forgotten, Horace wreathed himself with roses, helped himself to falernian, raised the cup to Venus and sang, "Nunc est bibendum" - which he had cribbed from Alcæus. That night Cleopatra's diadem had fallen and with it her realm. The fine clatter of both time has hushed. Of it all one negligently remembers that the lady was a very pretty woman. There was a fairer one yet. There was Venus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
