Writing Down Epic: Another Homeric Allusion in Horace Odes 1.6
This note sheds new light on Horace’s translation of the opening of the Iliad at Odes 1.6. It is frequently noted that Horace’s parodic translation turns Achilles’ epic wrath into a bathetic “feeling of annoyance” (stomachus). Yet this note argues that Horace is indebted here also to Odyssey Book 17, which already included a similarly bathetic take on the opening of the Iliad. As Horace refuses to write epic poetry in Odes 1.6, he writes anti-epic poetry that is paradoxically at least as Homeric as any epic poem.
期刊介绍:
Classical Philology has been an internationally respected journal for the study of the life, languages, and thought of the Ancient Greek and Roman world since 1906. CP covers a broad range of topics from a variety of interpretative points of view. CP welcomes both longer articles and short notes or discussions that make a significant contribution to the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. Any field of classical studies may be treated, separately or in relation to other disciplines, ancient or modern. In particular, we invite studies that illuminate aspects of the languages, literatures, history, art, philosophy, social life, and religion of ancient Greece and Rome. Innovative approaches and originality are encouraged as a necessary part of good scholarship.
