Abstract


The first part of this paper offers an introductory discussion of all pederastic allusions found in Horace. The second part is a literary commentary of Horace's Epode XI. This poem begins with Horace informing Pettius that lave is interfering with his writing of poetry (1-6). In the verses that follow, Horace gives an account of his painful involvement with Inachia (7-22). Now, however, he is in lave with Lyciscus, and only love for another will free him from the affair (23-28). The poet has here made use of themes current in Hellenistic erotic poetry, specially in epigrams. Horace's Epade XI is an elegant piece of writing, but there is little real life in it.
