Simonides and Horace
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The intertextual relationship of Simonides and Horace has been much illuminated by the publication of the new Simonides fragments. The cautious judgement of Nisbet and Hubbard in their 1970 survey of the sources of the Odes in volume I of their classic commentary (“an occasional aphorism comes from Simonides”) marked an advance on some earlier treatments that ignored Simonides’ influence on Horace entirely; their volume II (1978) moved further, positing more Simonidean echoes, and this can now be supplemented by proposals of more extensive allusions. 1
