Notes on the text and interpretation of Horace’s Odes and Carmen Saeculare
- Abstract:
- This paper gathers together notes on passages from ten of Horace’s lyric poems (offering conjectures as listed): Carm. 1.31.1–8 (6: arbusta); 1.37.5–8 (7: tam demens); 2.1.37–40 (37: at); 2.10.21–24 (22: appares); 2.12.13–16; 2.13.13–16 (15: paulisper horrescit); 2.17.17–30 (19: seu] te; 24: Leti); 2.18.9–12 (11–12: deos | supra); 3.27.13–16 (13: licet] precor); Carmen Saeculare 29–48 (33–36 after 8 or 24; 44: iura). Topics touched on include Horatian usage and word order, the shape of lyric expression, and some patterns of textual corruption, in particular the alteration of precor to licet (starting from Ovid, Metamorphoses 9.503, with discussion of possible cases at 3.405 and 9.480, and Heroides 20.9).
