Poetic Authority and Shipwreck in Horace's Carmen 1.5
Abstract:
In the opening poems of his Odes, Horace repeatedly refers to the threatening force of the sea. This threat culminates in the poet’s shipwreck in 1.5, and through this account of his own experience Horace establishes his poetic authority, which he as poet-advisor exercises throughout the Odes.
