From classical times, odes written by Pindar were generally dignified or exalted in subject and style and were based on the odes sung by the chorus (choral odes) in Greek tragedy. Those written in Latin by Horace provide a simpler, more intimate model. Keats is among later poets to have written odes drawing on Horace, while Dryden, Wordsworth, and Coleridge wrote more elevated odes
