This work is a translation and critical study of 10 pre-Islamic odes. It aims to show how personal ethics, which is also an aesthetic, inaugurates Arabic cultural heritage free of outside moral authority or discipline. Here, among a group of poets, one discovers the roots of that heritage. This study should be accessible both to the general Western reader and the pre-Islamic scholar.
