| Summary: | It is often said that in the first book of his epistles, Horace turns his back on poetry and converts to philosophy. However, as a freethinker, he does not subscribe to one single philosophical school, but rather expounds an autonomous eclecticism instead. - Beginning from an examination of the opening verses of Epistle 1, 1, the present article subjects this idea to a critical analysis and rejects it. In a second part, an alternative reading of Horace's book of poetical letters is put forward. |
