OUPCORRECTEDPROOF–FINAL,5/2/2016,SPi ’ Editors Preface To say that Horace’s Epodes have received something of a bad press overtheyears—atleastascomparedtotherestofhisworks—would (atfirstsight)seemtobeanunderstatement.Abrasive,bawdy,tricky totranslate,theEpodeshavereceivedcensurefromcriticsandcaused heartpalpitationsamongstundergraduates.Andyetthispugnacious little collection has never ceased to receive support from a vocal minority who felt that the Epodes—far from being inferior to the restofHorace’sworks—offeredarefreshing,intimate,andinvective- ladentakeonHorace’sworld. TheconferenceonHorace’sEpodeswhichwasheldattheUniver- sity of Manchester in 2012 (Ego primus iambos ostendi Latio: Re- evaluating Horace’s Epodes) and which was the inspiration for this volumewasintendedtoaddavoicetothatvocalminoritybyseeking outnewmeaningswithinthecollectionandbyformingnewconnec- tions between it and Horace’s other works, as well as those of other ancient authors. What surprised us as conference organizers, how- ever,wasnotjusthowmuchscopethereisforre-evaluatingHorace’s Epodes in their own right, but especially for re-evaluating their pos- ition within the canon of Rome’s literary texts and within Europe’s literary corpus thereafter, a position which, it turns out, remained surprisinglyprominentuntilthestartofthelastcentury.Andsothe volumewhichhasresultedfromthatconferenceinManchester—this volume—aimstoreflecttheethosofthateventandhopestosurprise its readers with how much Horace-power the Epodes actually have underthehood.
