Academic Year 2004/2005
Horace, Odes and Epodes
LAT 241 SP
In this course, through a close reading of Horace's lyric poetry, we will seek to understand the nature of Horatian lyric, its formal qualities and thematic preoccupations. I will encourage students to become aware of
the
critical methodologies that have been brought to bear on the ODES by selected readings in secondary literature. We will also consider the modern reception of these poems and the problems they present for a translator as
a further attempt to understand their special qualities.
MAJOR READINGS
Horace, THE ODES and selected EPODES
Selected secondary readings.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
A sequence of three short papers, as exercises in practical criticism and a longer final paper; occasional in-class reports; reading assignments (in Latin) each week.
