Abrasive in style and riddled with apparent inconsistencies, the 'Epodes' have divided critics from the outset, infuriating and delighting them in equal measure. This collection of essays on the 'Epodes' by new and established scholars seeks to overturn this work's ill-famed reputation and to reassert its place as a valid and valued member of Horace's literary corpus. Building upon a recent surge in scholarly interest in the 'Epodes', the volume goes one step further by looking beyond the collection itself to highlight the importance of intertext, context, and reception. Covering a wide range of topics including the iambic tradition and aspects of gender, it begins with a consideration of the influences of Greek iambic upon the 'Epodes' and ends with a discussion on their reception during the seventeenth century and beyond. By focusing on the connections that can be drawn between the 'Epodes' and other (ancient) works, as well as between the 'Epodes' themselves, the volume will appeal to new and seasoned readers of the poems.0In doing so it demonstrates that this smallest, and seemingly most insignificant, of Horace's works is worthy of a place alongside the much-lauded 'Satires and odes'. NO - A conference on Horace's Epodes was held at the University of Manchester in 2012 and was the inspiration for this volume.
