16) TIME AND THE EROTIC IN HORACE'S ODES
Ancona, Ronnie

Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 1994 x, 186 pp. Notes, bibliography, indexes. Drawing on contemporary theory, including recent work in feminist criticism, the author provides close readings of fourteen odes, which are presented in English translation as well as in Latin. Through a discussion of the poet's use of various temporal devices--the temporal adverb, seasonal imagery, and the lover or beloved's own temporality--she shows how Horace makes time dominate the erotic context and, further, how the version of love that appears in his poems is characterized by the lover's desire to control the beloved. In a critique of the predominant modes of recent Horatian scholarship on the love odes, the author offers an alternative view that takes into account the male gender of the lower and its effect on the structure of desire in the poems.
