Reconstructing the historical past of the traditional poetry booklet, either Greek and Roman, Santirocco demanding situations definite universal assumptions approximately its foundation and improvement. He argues that real parallels for the Odes should not to be present in the opposite Augustan books, that are quite homogeneous in content material and shape, yet within the heterogeneous collections of Hellenistic writers.
Odes I-III include eighty-eight poems in twelve varied meters, and in tone and subject they range greatly. warding off the 2 extremes of prior scholarship, which both has hunted for a unmarried underlying cohesion in any other case has denied any significant layout, Santirocco uncovers quite a few either static and dynamic constructions and indicates their relevance to the literary interpretation of the poems in any respect degrees. finally, the composition of a poem and the disposition of the crowd are proven to be analogous actions. Odes I-III don't represent a medley of discrete poems yet, as an alternative, approximate the team spirit of a unmarried ode.
