Damnatio memoriae? Antony and Cleopatra in Horace’s poetry
Keywords:
Horace, Cleopatra, Mark Antony, alterityAbstract
This article examines how Horace represents Cleopatra and Mark Antony in his Odes and Epodes. In order to do so, Lyne’s theory (1995), that Horace avoided direct vituperation of the great political personages of his time until Octavian, the future Augustus, won the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, was of use. Thus, starting from the theory of alterity of Jovchelovitch (1998) and also Girardet’s concept of political mythology (1987), we seek to understand how Horace uses certain commonplaces to delegitimize the Egyptian queen and her consort.
