The Religious and Social Policies of the Augustan Regime in the Odes of Horace
Abstract
This essay is devoted to an investigation of Horace's Odes is so far as they touch upon the religious and moral policies of the Augustan regime. In the first chapter consideration is given to the attitude of Horace to the Imperial religious restoration as a whole. In ad- dition the poet's treatment of the various gods affected by the Emperor's policy is discussed. The inquiry is, however, confined to the more important gods, Apollo, Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and Vesta. In the second chapter the Odes are studied with the view to what they reveal of the poet's attitude toward the attempted social refort mation of Augustus.
