Notes bibliogr.
Horace’s two odes to Bacchus, C. 2.19 and 3.25, should be considered
dithyrambs, but they involve opposite trajectories. The former moves from a moment
of Bacchic ecstasy to serene control, while the latter begins with a calm intention to
praise Augustus that is suddenly interrupted as the poet is swept away like a Maenad in a
dithyrambic frenzy to sublime heights that transcend political encomium.
