A statue of a blindfolded Lady Justice at the Albert V. Bryan United States Courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia. Two famous characterizations of Horace come from this first satire. The first typifies his facetious manner: “ridentem dicere verum / quid vetat” (What’s wrong with someone laughing as they tell the truth? Sat. 1.1.24-25). The second signals the balance and moderation that mark his work as a whole: “est modus in rebus, sunt certi denique fines / quos ultra citraque nequit consistere rectum” (there is a middle ground in things; there are, finally, definite boundaries, on either side of which Right is unable to take a stand, Sat. 1.1.106-107). Suetonius supplies what little is known of the end of Horace’s life. Maecenas, who died in the late summer of 8 BC, had recorded his affection for Horace in a codicil of his will to the Emperor: “Horati Flacci ut mei esto memor” (Keep Horatius Flaccus in mind as you would me). Horace, who had written many years before that when Maecenas died, so would he ( Odes 2.17), died 58 days after Maecenas on November 27, 8 BCE at age 57. Augustus was proclaimed his heir in front of witnesses, since the violent decline in Horace’s health did not permit him to have his will signed and witnessed. He was buried at the periphery of the Esquiline next to the tomb of Maecenas.

[4]The priamel of the first ode hints at other themes familiar through the Satires and the Epodes—a love of the countryside that dedicates a farmer to his ancestral lands; the ambition that drives one man to Olympic glory, another to political acclaim, and a third to wealth; the greed that compels the merchant to brave dangerous seas again and again rather than live modestly but safely; and even the tensions between the sexes that are at the root of the odes about relationships with women. Greek Aeolic meters all begin with two syllables that may be either long or short; Horace nearly always begins the line with a spondee. His lines are also built around a choriambic core—that is, two long syllables enclosing two short syllables (— - -—) . The chief meters are Asclepiadic (five variations, called first through fifth Asclepiadian), Alcaic, and Sapphic. But the Asclepiad meters, in all their variations, are only the second most common meter in Odes I-III (27 of the 88 odes). Most frequent is Alcaic (33/88); third is Sapphic (23/88).

The city was known as Venusia ("City of Venus") to the Romans, who credited its establishment—as Aphrodisia ("City of Aphrodite")—to the Homeric hero Diomedes. He was said to have moved to Magna Graecia in southern Italy following the Trojan War, seeking a life of peace and building the town and its temples to appease the anger of Aphrodite for the destruction of her beloved Troy. During the centuries immediately following his death, scholars edited the text of Horace’s poetry and wrote scholia—collections of notes of varying length (and accuracy) that accompanied the text in the manuscript transmission. At the end of the 2nd century Helenius Acron wrote a scholarly commentary. Acron’s commentary partially survives in a much-expanded and reworked version, the scholia of Pseudo-Acron, much of which was written in the 5th century AD, with many later additions. The scholia of Pomponius Porphyrio, written in the 3rd century, also survive. Modern texts of Horace are based on manuscripts dating from the ninth to the 12th century, which in turn derived from two or three medieval manuscripts. Popolazione Residente al 1° Gennaio 2018".
