This chapter discusses a selection of the odes in which Horace offers some kind of advice, instruction, or exhortation, which form a distinct subset of Odes 1–3. The poems analyzed are Odes 1.24 (to Virgil), 2.10 (to Licinius), 1.9 (to Thaliarchus, the so-called Soracte Ode), 2.3 (to Dellius), 2.14 (to Postumus), and 1.20, 2.12, and 3.29 (all to Maecenas). The discussions illustrate Horace’s skill in treating common themes (e.g., life is short, so one should enjoy the present) in a vivid and varied fashion. The three odes to Maecenas strikingly illustrate Horace’s growth in confidence and authority in the course of the collection.
