Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori

英语百科

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori

Detail of the inscription over the rear entrance to Memorial Amphitheater at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. The inscription reads:

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori is a line from the Roman lyrical poet Horace's Odes (III.2.13). The line can be roughly translated into English as: "It is sweet and glorious to die for one's country."

As a consequence of Wilfred Owen incorporating the phrase into his similarly titled poem, "Dulce et Decorum Est", it is now often referred to as "the Old Lie"; see below.
