Some Recent Contributions to the Interpretation of Horace, Satire 1.1

Irene Margaret Vopelak, Fordham University

Abstract

The history of the development of the most important, and the 1 only literary invention of Rome, is narked, according to Lejay by three names: Ennius, who wrote miscellaneous essays in prose and verse, a medley of saturas, Lucilius, who gave it the spirit of the Old Comedy and a polemic character, and Horace, who narrowed its confines, and restricted his circle of readers, being, as he says, contentus paucis lectoribus.
