Less well known, however, even to many students of Augustan literature is Maecenas, prose stylist and poet. Explicably, the obscurity ofhis reputation as a writer is due in large part to the failure ofmost of his writing to survive, but fortunately the handful of fragments still extant is enough to afford an intriguing glimpse into one of the most colorful and contradictory figures of the Augustan Age.1 Though scanty, the nine fragments of prose and eight of poetry provide a coherent picture ofMaecenas' literary output, and several are of importance to students of Vergil and Horace because they reveal the mutual influence from patron to poet and poet to patron. Furthermore, interesting as the fragments are in themselves, they are also valuable for the judgments passed upon them by Maecenas' own contemporaries and by ancient literary critics. Thus, the comments of contemporaries like Agrippa, Horace, and Augustus and the considered judgments of Seneca, Quintilian, and Tacitus form a significant page in the history of Roman literary criticism. This paper, besides aiming to provide an introduction to the fragments of Maecenas, will also suggest that many ofthe quotations, though dissected by grammarians and philologists into their syntactical and lexical components, stand in need of further illumination as to their tone and purpose. It will be argued that Maecenas' language, admittedly vexing and obscure, is in the main such because of the author's intentional efforts at humor and, in several instances, at self-parody. The fragments themselves and the testimonia of commentators attest that Maecenas worked in a number of genres both in prose and in verse.

He notes that Cicero, despite his reputation for boasting, generally speaks of his achievements in his orations only when he must do so, either to help clients who assisted him in suppressing the conspiracy, or to respond to his own critics, and so in these cases he is defending rather than glorifying himself (11.1.17-18). Later Quintilian states, evidendy as an example of how one successful orator tried to avoid the appearance of boasting, that Cicero often speaks of the suppression of the Catilinarian conspiracy, but attributes it to the senate or the gods (11.1.23 EtM. Tullius saepe dicit de oppressa coniuratione Catilinae, sed modo id virtuti senatus, modo providentiae deorum immortalium adsignat).1 It is when he must defend himself from his enemies and detractors, Quintilian claims, that the orator takes more credit for these actions (Plerumque contra mimicos atque obtrectatores plus vindicat sibi: erant enim ilia tuenda cum obicerentur). A study of Cicero's orations after 63 B.C., however, indicates that Quintilian is mistaken in this last statement; in fact, the reverse is true. It is precisely when he is defending himself from the attacks of his adversaries— particulary Clodius, Piso, and Antony-that the orator seems most eager to assign responsibility for the suppression of the conspiracy to others. In the orations after his consulship, and especially in those after his exile, Cicero often states or implies that the senate or others were responsible for putting down the conspiracy, and omits or minimizes his own part in this action.
