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."
