The poem is the first fully preserved Latin hymn whose circumstances of presentation are known, and it is the only lyric of Horace we can be certain was first presented orally. Michael C. J. Putnam offers a close and sensitive reading of this hymn, shedding new light on the richness and virtuosity of its poetry, on the many sources Horace drew on, and on the poem's power and significance as a public ritual. A rich and compelling work, this poem is a masterpiece, Putnam shows, and it represents a crucial link in the development of Rome's outstanding lyric poet. 606 $aPolitical poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolitics and literature$zRome 606 $aRitual in literature 606 $aMagic in literature 607 $aRome$xIn literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolitics and literature 615 0$aRitual in literature. 615 0$aMagic in literature. 676 $a874.01 700 $aPutnam$b Michael C.
