Pindaric odes follow the form and style of Pindar. Horatian odes follow conventions of Horace; the odes of Horace deliberately imitated the Greek lyricists such as Alcaeus and Anacreon. Irregular odes use rhyme, but not the three-part form of the Pindaric ode, nor the two- or four-line stanza of the Horatian ode. The ode is a lyric poem.
"Ode to Psyche" is a 67-line poem written in stanzas of varying length, which took its form from modification Keats made to the sonnet structure.

His poetry, while admired by critics, still challenges the casual reader and his work is largely unread among the general public. [4] Pindar was the first Greek poet to reflect on the nature of poetry and on the poet's role. [5] His poetry illustrates the beliefs and values of Archaic Greece at the dawn of the Classical period.

Odes 1.23, also known as Ad Chloen ('To Chloe'), or by its incipit, Vitas inuleo me similis, Chloe, is one of the Odes of Horace. The poem is written in the fourth Asclepiadean metre, and is of uncertain date; not after 23 BC.
