Glasz, Maëlle. "Statut du poète et question de l’éternité dans les Odes d’Horace entre héritage grec et romanité." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023SORUL069.
Full textSeveral reflexive odes (Odes I, 1, II, 20, III, 30 and IV, 3) are the mirror of Horace’s poetic project. The poet clearly defines his aim : to be recognized as the first poet in Rome to have adapted into Latin the lesbian lyric of the 6th century B.C. and to see his own name inscribed in the eternal chain of uates lyrici, of inspired lyric poets. Imitation is an inevitable gesture in Rome : any author wishing to excel in a particular genre has to confront his Greek predecessors according to the double principle of imitatio-aemulatio. However, Horace’s project is an ambitious one : archaic Greek lyric is a poetry of occasion, of performance, contexts that Augustan Rome is not familiar with. What’s more, Horace knows this lyric through its Hellenistic, more book-based reception. But what does the poet precisely tell us about his models ? And how does he manage to combine the imitation of various heritages and influences with a profoundly Roman inspiration, imbued with morality and rooted in the saeculum augustum ? The creation of such a lyric – which has acquired legitimacy as civic poetry – will enable Horace to bring into eternity not only the humblest objects, but also the summi uiri of Rome. But how can he turn the most important of them, Augustus, the princeps, into a fragment of eternity ? And what’s in it for the poet – who claims in a way never heard before that his verses will bring immortality to their creator ? It is to these questions that we propose, in our thesis, to provide some answers
Schilling, Maryse. "Rome et le prince dans les "Odes" d'Horace : construction d'une mythologie impériale romaine." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018STRAC028/document.
Full textWith the accession of the princeps in 27 BC, begins in Rome the "Age of Augustus" - a period of political, but also cultural revolution. Authors and poets joined this collective thinking about the foundations of the City, its identity, its relationship with its princeps and its gods, the imperium of Augustus, and the ideals to offer to the new generation... This dissertation aims to analyse how the Latin poet Horace took part not only to the renewal of the poetic forms in Rome, but also to these reflections around the novus status. ln which way the archaic Greek lyric, that he tries to adapt to Rome in his Odes, as well as the Greek mythology, that he recreates to make them echo the challenges of the Principate, make it possible for Horace to conjure the privileged relation ship between Rome and its princeps?
Guisard, Philippe. "Horace et l'hellénisme." Paris 10, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA100149.
Full textBoth before and during August's principate, the poet Horace asserts Greek culture as an inheritance of his natal Apulia, thus artificially reactivating the function of the former Magna Grecia as a vector of Greek art on the Italian soil. The analysis of the whole horatian corpus in respect of his Greek models and of the Greek language clearly shows how the poet from Venosa draws poetical effects from his bilingualism and the ductility set up by the dialog between his romanity and his grecity. Both a witness and an actor of the relationship between Rome and hellenism, Horace translates his litterary perception of the Greek culture through six networks of images : if these refer to the vegetal, biological and crafts domains as well as the military vocabulary of conquest, they essentially borrow their metaphor from the world of fluids
Glinatsis, Robin. "La place de l'Epître aux Pisons dans l'œuvre d'Horace : vers une recomposition de la poétique horatienne." Lille 3, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010LIL3A001.
Full textIn the Epistle to the Pisos, Horace sets forth several rules which he considers indispensable to writing poem worthy of bearing that designation. Therefore, generations of scholars, understanding the text as a treatise on poetry, commonly referred to it as Ars poetica. However, a closer examination of the work's stylistic devices discloses vast differences between this and both prior and contemporary technical works. As an epistle, the text adopts sermo, a language which imitates desultory conversation, providing the discussion with formal flexibility and freedom of speech. The work, written in a discursive style foreign to the traditional artes, is not therefore an art of poetry in the usual sense and should be considered as a unique singular poem. Moreover, the Epistle to the Pisos does not hold a monopoly on theory which is at the heart of the Horatian corpus. In fact, arts of poetry actually take form in the Epodes, the Satires and the Odes, which are permeated by the phenomenon of reflexivity : each collection, and its own language, develops a fragmentary but coherent reflexion on the exploited genre. Besides, the books I and II of the Epistles contain fragments of poetical theory which cannot all be found in the pistle to the Pisos. Nevertheless, it may be possible to trace, beyond the plurality of theoretical poles displayed through the Horatian corpus, a singular poetic art found on three main cross principles : the relation of the work to auctorial models, the need for synthesis of man's know-how and their deity inspired genius and, finally, the quest for mediocritas, the ideal of a happy medium and moderation in all things
Delignon, Bénédicte. "Satura tota nostra. Les Satires d'Horace et la comédie grecque : Etude de stylistique comparée." Paris 4, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA040048.
Full textQuintilian (X, 1, 93) thinks the satire was created by the Romans. Yet, according to Horace, the origin of his outspokenness can easily be traced to the old comedy and the mime, and the new comedy, especially Menander's, has proven to be an inspiration as regards sermo. Those various references raise questions. Why does Horace praise outspokenness in an unfavourable cultural, judicial and historic context ? Why does he choose Greek patterns, though he do homage to Terence several times in the Satires ? How can he accord Terence's stataria and the truculence of the old comedy and the mime ? the urbaine form of the sermo and the outspokenness ? The bound between Horace and Maecenas, a cliens and his patronus, can account for those contradictions. Octavius claims to have restored the republican freedom. The libertas is the core of his programme and of his propaganda against Antonius and Sextus Pompeius. Maecenas is Octavius' right-hand man. By praising outspokenness and by jeering himself namely, the satirist serves Octavius' purpose. But Octavius also claims to be Rome's pacificator and he disapproves of the outspokenness when its threatens cival peace. To echo, Horace disapproves of Lucilius' one-sided satire, going for the archaia, whose political aspect he can easily overlook. His jeers are solely confined to the reputedly private context of recitatio or sermo with his readers, and he overlooks what the publication entails. His jeers seemingly deal with moral issues, the political aspects of which remain understated. The new comedy enables him to help bring back morals in Rome as instigated by Octavius. Yet he associates it to free mime or characters for whom Plautus shows leniency. He cites Menander so as not to admit he prefers Terence's moral comedies. His satires thus maintain a proper freedom of speech, he is not considered as an enemy of freedom or an obvious propagandist. The flow of comical genres enables him to reconcile contradictory aspects of Octavius'programme
Lathière, Anne-Marie. "Horace : nature et poésie. Une poétique justifiée par une métaphysique." Paris 4, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA040178.
Full textThis study, based on an inventory of his images, shows Horace’s conception of literary creation in his theoretical developments (sat i-4 et i-10; ep i-19 et ii-1,2,3), as he refers to a certain conception of nature. Nature, both as a mechanism and an allegory endowed with intentions, has, by mixing different elements, created a sensitive universe inhabited by characters capable of exteriorizing sensations. Horace sees this creation as a stage upon which these characters, like theatrical parts, enact unique and ever-repeated scenes. The poet imitates the founders of the literary genres, without refusing the notions of progress and innovation, and, like them, mimics nature's deeds (joining together putting as under; concealing unveiling). His aesthetic and moral mission consists in sorting the parts out of the <> chaos, and in enclosing the memory of exempla, the contemplation of which leads to good, in the indestructible world of words. Horatian art finds its inspiration in dramatic stylization and alexandrine breuitas. Second paradox: this art that obeys universal and individual nature seeks to abolish the law of death. But, in a universe balanced on its contradictions, the poet will always strive to obey the necessity of choosing between charm and struggle, strength and grace, - the harmonious blending of which defines beauty
Merle, Denis. "Les traductions d’Horace en France, de Daru à Séguier (1797-1895)." Paris 4, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA040170.
Full textHorace is the favourite Latin poet in the 19th century, in franc. Besides, as the teaching of Latin is pre-eminent in secondary schools then, it favours such fervour. His works are tirelessly published, commented upon and above all translated: thirty complete translations and more than a hundred and fifty abridged ones can be found, among which the odes, the epodes and his ars poetica are in favour. Moreover, the defenders of classicism set up the Epistle to the pisons as the model of sound literary doctrine against the upheaval of romanticism. The translations of Horace, globally flagging in the preceding centuries, become an object of extraordinary literary competition, right from Daru's verse translation published in 1797. Only the passages considered as too licentious, as regards the prudishness of the time, are not much translated. The close scrutiny of the translations throughout the 19th century enables one to observe the progress achieved in lexical and syntactic accuracy: the fine but unfaithful translations vanish. In 1895, Séguier translates Horace’s verse works into an equal number of lines in French. Although their task is more exacting, the verse translators, who are more numerous, endeavour to be more faithful than the translators in prose by rendering also the specifically poetic aspect of Horace’s works. Three trends can be brought out: the academic translations which aim at faithfulness, others that strive for literary effects, and a middle-of-the-road translation approach that combines both accuracy and elegance, for a wide public. Yet, translating does have a negative consequence: from then on […]

Full textThe aim of our work was not so much, by leading an investigation on the autobiographical writing in the poetry of Horace, to know the latter's life through his work than to scrutinize his rhetoric and the strategies of his self-representation. When composing his poems, a single concern crosses the mind of our poet, from the Epodes to the fourth book of the Odes, through the Epistles: to touch upon the autobiographical possibility to then better give it up. Horace has a higher idea of the act of writing that he invests with aesthetic, rhetorical, ethical and even therapeutic finalities. He does not care about delivering the intimate detail in all its sincerity and accuracy, nor about writing continuously as in an autobiographical narrative. He seeks instead to fictionalize his final figure, to submit his character to the game of writing and the needs of each play, to form and transform himself by exploiting the resources of language. In the lyrical works, to the voice of the private poet attached to his memories and his feelings of love and friendship, succeeds that of the official poet worried about the fate of Rome and of the genius poet proud of his literary talent. But in the experience of the lyrical I, there is always a game on the aesthetic requirements inherited from the canonical lyrics of archaic and classical Greece. With the Epistles in particular, autobiographical writing coincides with the strong moment of self-concern. The letter echoes the anxiety of the being who is looking for the fixed point and the balance for his soul and his body. But the writing of oneself, though it mainly comprises an intrinsic informative function, also appears as a spiritual exercise. In other words, as M. Foucault points out in "The self’s writing", it is a work of soul-searching and a scriptural asceticism. Finally, the Satires immortalize the life of Horace in Roman society and mark the beginning of his relationship with Maecenas and Augustus. Their affinity with the theater world, however, allows him to play, like the orator and the rhetor, one or several characters in order to manage potential socio-political tensions and to convey the idea he has of himself or that he wants the audience to make of himself
Gaucher, Sarah. "La représentation de Lucilius chez Cicéron et Varron : influence des contextes et des pratiques de la citation sur la construction d'une figure littéraire." Thesis, Lyon, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LYSEN066.
Full textGiven the fragmentary nature of Lucilius’ works, scholars often rely on Horace’s testimony to describe the primus inuentor. In studying Lucilius’ quotes in Varro’s and Cicero’s writings, we hope to achieve a twofold objective. First, we aim to determine to what extent Lucilius’ depiction by Horace owes to the reception of the former’s œuvre. Then, more broadly, we will analyse the influence of the quotation process on the establishment of a literary figure, the selection of some passages, the change in meaning and the emphasis on a specific features of Lucilius’ work. Quotes of Lucilius by Cicero show that the satirist was in the Arpinate’s opinion above all a figurehead of libertas uerborum. Horace gives a similar portrayal of Lucilius, which academics associate with the context of the end of the Republic. Nevertheless, our thesis argues that, when stressing Lucilius’ outspokenness, Horace adopts a process dating back to the Republican era. Moreover, Cicero makes of Lucilius a poeta doctus et perurbanus. Drawing upon works on the urbanitas, our thesis gives an insight into the way that picture attunes with that of Lucilius liber in Cicero’s works. We also address the issue of omission: why is Lucilius’ doctrina, put into limelight by Cicero, overlooked by immediate posterity? Building on the bond between satirical genre and sermo according to Horace, our thesis dwells eventually on the relationship between Lucilius’ figure during the Republican age and several variations of sermo (cotidianus, comicus, Platonis and Bioneus). Horace is not dependent on Cicero and Varro per say but their quotations act as a system of cross-references, enabling in the end such a view on the genre
Gauvrit, Olivier. "La polyphonie métrique dans la poésie lyrique latine : Catulle, Horace, Sénèque le tragique. Poétiques en variation." Thesis, Paris 4, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA040137.
Full textThe aim of this work is to study the evolution of lyric verse in Rome, from the first century B.C. to the first A.D., through the writings of three poets : Catullus (complete works), Horace (Odes, Carmen Saeculare and Epodes) and Seneca (non anapaestic choruses in his tragedies). This polymetric corpus gives us the opportunity to study how a metre adapts to a specific genre or tonality. We conducted statistical studies on the variations of the metrical scheme, the frequency of elisions, the use of caesurae, the word length and the link between ictus and accent, so as to show how the verse is more and more regular from the poems of Catullus to Horace, and from Horace to Seneca. We also propose stylistic interpretations of passages in which striking phenomena appear. The work is divided into three parts, dealing respectively with aeolic, dactylic and iambic verse. The results reveal that regularization of the verse is obtained by the decreasing use of elisions, words with an atypical scheme or original caesurae. They also highlight the importance of hellenisms in the stylistic particularities observed and the possibility for Catullus and Horace to use a lyrical metre through parody to compose a satirical poem. Finally, the way Seneca uses Horatian metres to create rich choral poetry demonstrates his tragedies are not mere illustrations of stoician ideas but are undoubtedly devised for the stage
Zimmermann, Philippe. "Rythme métrique et rythme rhétorique dans la poésie lyrique d’Horace : recherches sur une poétique du sens." Rennes 2, 2009. http://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-00451035/fr/.
Full textThe aim of the present work is to describe the stylistic specificities of Horace's writing in his lyric works (Odes Books I-IV and Carmen Saeculare), in order to define the poetic nature of the meaning which they develop. The style of the poems is studied through the relations between, on the one hand, the syntactic and rhetoric arrangement of the words, and, on the other hand, the metric shape of the stanzas. These relations are described on different scales. The first part of the work looks into the limits of the sentences and stanzas; the second studies how the syntactical, lexical, and phonic tools, which contribute to the rhetoric rhythm of the sentence, are positioned in the metric structure; the third shows how the words and the syntactical members bring about a second metrical reading of the stanzas. This leads to different kinds of conclusions. The complexity of the lyric genre in Horace appears through the plurality of its discursive aims and the diversity of the rhetoric tools used to reach them. Horace’s versification is studied according to a verbal and syntactic metrics that reveals its richness of expression. The relations between metrics and rhetoric, which go from harmony to complex counterpoint, show a poetic polyphony of meaning, where individuality and the voice of the community join together
Le, touze Anna. "Francisci Robortelli Vtinensis paraphrasis in libellum Horatii qui vulgo de arte poetica inscribitur : introduction, édition, traduction annotée." Thesis, Rennes 2, 2021. https://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-03248316.
Full textThis work consists of an edition and a translation with commentary of the paraphrase to Horace's Art of Poetry by Francesco Robortello, a Renaissance philologist famous for his commentary on Aristotle's Poetics. The paraphrase was published in 1548, in Florence, and belongs to a volume that contains the commentary on Aristotle. It was published again in Basel in 1555 with the commentary on Aristotle's Poetics. This paraphrase is part of the myriad of commentaries on Horace's Art of Poetry that proliferated during the Renaissance. This study shows that Robortello’s paraphrase is part of a tradition of commentary that goes back to Antiquity and that it differs from other humanistic commentaries by its form and by its many references to Aristotle’s Poetics
Pierre, Maxime. "La poétique du carmen : étude d'une énonciation romaine des douze tables à l'époque d'Auguste." Paris 7, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PA070114.
Full textOur study is an analysis of how the term carmen was used in rome to refer to a specific act of speech. The first part broaches the uses of the word when related to three types of agents - birds, instruments, and cantores - showing the unity of a category which, although not an equivalent, embraces the modern notions of song and music. The carmen is thus defined as an act incorporating the properties of the uox, perceived as sonorous matter that provokes physical, emotional and semantic effects. Part 2 and 3 deal with the uses of the word in the field of religion and law: they show a semantic evolution of the word which, after having referred to "magical" speech acts competing with the law, is renewed at the beginning of the roman empire as an archaising category designating any type of speech act where words are supposed to have an intrinsic efficiency: prayers, laws, or prophecies. Flnally, part 4 and 5 outline the gradual use of carmen as a word of poetic self-reference: first referring to the performance of an actor as opposed to the poema, which is a text, the word carmen is later reconsidered by Catullus and Lucretius as a fictive act of speech. Virgil, Horace and Propertius broaden this novelty by using carmen and canere to refer to the poetic act: it becomes a global speech act category, unifying heterogeneous greek practices, designating either iambos, melos, epos or elegy. This unifying speech act allows the new roman poets to import greek poetry as a significant form qf cultural renewal, which is typical of the augustan age

Full textThe heirs of Caesar promised their soldiers lands in Italy to facilitate mobilization for war. According to ancient authors, the triumvirate settled in Italian soil about 50. 000 veterans after the victory which led to massive expropriations. In fact, four of the five major poets of the Augustan period were affected by those expropriations. Virgil was probably deprived of his land by an unscrupulous veteran. Horace was involved with Caesar’s murderers, so he too was deprived of all his land. Sextus Propertius was deprived of the land of his family because his father had supported Lucius Antonius. Tibullus laid emphasis on the recent and sudden poverty of his family. Ovid wasn’t affected by the expropriations of 41-40 BC. However, he had important difficulties with his land because of his relagatio. Thus, roughly directly and critically, these poets made reference to expropriations. Then, as the war was over in Italy and their personal situation was getting better, they celebrated rural world and land ownership, the latter being the principal structure of Italian agriculture. Moreover, these poets wrote about gods and rituals used to protect domains. This thesis examines this particular historical situation in addressing poetic and engaged works of these five poets about lands ownership as well as about religious practices related to the guarantee of land property

Full textMan struggling with his own century has always been driven by the desire to stay away from his fellow men and to flourish without the company of his contemporaries. In Spain, such a desire specifically crystallized during the 16th and 17th centuries just as an economic, moral and religious crisis was shaking the foundations of a Spanish society criticized for its clientelism and iniquity. The manifestation of this disillusionment gave birth to a stream of moral poetry, a philosophical poetry inherited from stoicism and federated by the antithetical platitudes of menosprecio de corte y alabanza de aldea (« scorn of court life and praise of village life »). The series of texts generated by this dialectic of life in seclusion, which is too often confined to the horatian beatus ille, discloses through a corpus of seventy-two texts the perpetual process of rewriting and the freedoms of poetic and philosophical treatment. The study on the types of formulation, the themes and common assumptions, and also on the stylistic devices and prosody carried out within each composition and in the diachronic relation between the study itself and the corpus tends to emphasize the argumentative depth of the series of texts and the combination of its variations
