Abstract

Alliteration is one of the types of 'badiah' arts, which is the repetition of one initial letter sound at the beginning of two adjacent words. The repetition of a sound or group of sounds at the beginning of a group of syllables or at the beginning of a group of words in a text aims at generating a sensory effect to please the ear and to make the sound more powerful. 'It is called alliteration because the letters constituting the words share one sound'
In fact, the Roman orators and poets followed the footsteps of the Greeks in their love of using the best of speech, and they were good at using tricks and rhetorical images, such as alliteration, assonance, and metaphor... etc.
The researcher used the descriptive approach in the part of the study that accounts for the verses that have alliteration, used by “Horace” extensively in various forms in the first book of his “letters”. c, q, d, m, p, s, u, v. Through the use of alliteration in his poetic letters, “Horace” was able to manipulate sound to achieve musical effects, as the sound in Latin poetry plays an important role by creating a musical variety to emphasize ideas and connotations intended by the poet.
