In this episode of Literary Tales we dig into the so-called "praise poetry" of Horace and deconstruct the claim that Horace was a propagadnist for Augustus. On the contrary, Horace's traditionalism and praise of Augustus is tied to a greater concern in Horace: the romanticism of the agrarian idyll which was, in fact, the republican idyll before the Civil Wars. We end by discussing the possibility that Horace was the forerunner to "romanticism."

That “Horace was a gentleman, who really loved his friends”, was my first thought on seeing this videos title
