Hiatus in Vergil and in Horace'sOdes
John Trappes-Lomax
Our discussion will be primarily concerned with hiatus and prosodic in Vergil; emendations proposed at E . 3.6; A 4.235; 7.226; it also suggested that some of the hiatus-free readings to found Carolingian later MSS deserve consideration. Emendations Horace, Odes 1.28.24; 3.6.10. In order evaluate Vergilian innovation influence, we need give brief account both his predecessors other Augustan poets. Vergil's immediate Comedy course has its own rules, a full would irrelevant; however seen aspects comic versification can used illustrate practice. The fragmentary Latin poets are excluded; what little have them been exposed not only ordinary accidents transcription but accidental misquotation; is thus hardly possible draw any certain conclusions.
