	Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori is a line from the Roman lyrical poet Horace's Odes (iii 2.13).
		During World War I, British poet Wilfred Owen wrote a poem entitled, "Dulce Et Decorum Est," in which the phrase was described as "the old Lie." The poem was written by Owen in response to a poem by Jessie Pope, a propagandist with limited talent, entitled "Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori".
		"Dulce et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori, sed dulcius pro patria vivere, et dulcissimus pro patria biber.

	An Introduction to Manuscript Study: Background to 'Dulce et Decorum Est'
		'Dulce et Decorum Est' is perhaps one of Wilfred Owen's most famous poems, ranking alongside his often anthologised 'Anthem for Doomed Youth'.
		The title of the poem comes from the latin poet Horace's statement 'Dulce et decorum est, pro patria mori' (Horace, Odes, iii ii 13) meaning 'It is sweet and proper to die for one's country'.
		NB: Ironically 'pro patria mori' is also one of the mottos on the Menin Gate at Ypres.

	Armistice Day -- Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori
		We would like to present, Wilfred Owen's "Dulce et Decorum Est", the best known poem of the First World War, which rather accurately describes the horror of war, and the pity of war.
		The line can be rendered in English as: "It is sweet and honourable to die for one's country." In classical Latin it was pronounced, "dulcet decorumst pro patria mori," due to poetic elision and prodelision.
		His shocking, realistic war poetry on the horrors of trench and gas warfare was heavily influenced by his friend Siegfried Sassoon and sat in stark contrast to both the public perception of war at the time, and to the patriotic verse written earlier by war poets such as Rupert Brooke.

	Dulce Et Decorum Est
		As a poetic statement made at a specific moment in history, it speaks what so many people felt as the war dragged on: that they had been misled, lied to, that the war was being described in one way, but in reality it was something very different indeed.
		But irony is also crucial to the way "Dulce et Decorum Est" is written.
		The elevated tone of the last lines, their "decorum," as language, contrasts violently with the language of the rest of the poem.

		We see and hear grand expressions about “glory,” “honour” etc., usually being spouted by politicians whose only battles are fought from the safety and “parliamentary privilege” of the debating chamber and whose most dangerous weapons are the words that they frequently end up eating.
		Wifred Owen was a soldier/poet in World War 1 and one of his most famous poems was “Dulce et Decorum est,” the final verse of which is written below.
		For those whose Latin is a “bit rusty”, the phrase “Dulce et Decorum est, pro Patria mori” means “It is sweet and right to die for your country.” In other words, it is a wonderful and great honour to fight and die for your country.

	Leithart.com \| Pro Patria Mori
		The history of the modern nation-state, and the disillusionment with it, can be told as the story of changing responses to Roman-inspired patriotism, tinged with the rhetoric of Christian martyrdom and sacrifice.
		Simplifying to an extreme, the story of modern politics is about the resurgence (in France in 1789 or thereabouts) and the retreat (in France in 1918 or thereabouts) of Horace's poetic claim, dulce et decorum est pro patria mori (Odes, Book 3, Ode 2).
		The shift can be seen by comparing the cheerful 1915 patriotism of Punch editor Owen Seaman with the horrific on-the-ground description of war in Wilfred Owen's "Dulce et Decorum Est" or the poems of Edgar Lee Masters's Spoon River Anthology (1916).

		During World War One Wilfred Owen was killed trying to lead his company of British infantrymen across an irrigation canal in Belgium which was guarded by a German machine gun nest.
		Owen, however, was a poet in the traditional mold and he spoke in poetic terms: he wanted to re-create a significant experience in his life and let that experience speak for itself.
		His experience of war was roughly divided into equal parts of horror and anger, and " Dulce et Decorum Est," his most famous poem, is more or less equally divided between his efforts to re-create those same two emotions.
