Horace’s claim to fame in Odes book 1: A question of expectations?
Abstract
The first book of Odes introduces the reader to a carefully conceivedsequence of poems. This article argues that with this sequence alarger more philosophical Sitz im Leben1 is suggested for theindividual poems as well as for the collection as a whole. This articlefurther proposes that the careful construction of an individual bookof Odes has a significant impact on the frame of reference of thecollection as a whole. Odes book 1 is taken as an examplesubstantiating this argument.
