Political Poems
View through CrossRef
About a fifth of the poems in Odes 1–3 can be categorized as political. They fall into three subgroups: poems dealing with the civil wars and their aftermath, poems that reflect on the current state of Rome, and poems relating to Rome and Augustus. This chapter discusses examples of each subgroup. Horace is seen as balancing support for Augustus with a measure of independence; that balance becomes more difficult to maintain the closer Horace comes to Augustus himself. The poems considered are Odes 1.37 (the “Cleopatra Ode”); 2.1 (to Asinius Pollio); 3.1-6 (the sequence known as the “Roman Odes”), with particular attention to 3.6; and 3.14.
