The goal of this dissertation is to re-evaluate the importance and function of the moral content of the first book of Horace's Sermones. I contend that the moral content constitutes part of a pragmatic program that seeks to ameliorate the discord of first century Rome by utilizing the Roman concept of amicitia. Horace faces the problem of adapting satire, a poetic discourse of invective and moral policing to amicitia , which he achieves by adapting satire as part of a system of moral and dialogic pedagogy for both oneself and one's friends. This reading places Horace's first book of Sermones at the intersection of a number of Roman discourses: exemplarity, moral pedagogy, amicitia and libertas. Such a reading achieves three results: first, an appreciation of the importance and complexity of the moral content of the Sermones; second, a better understanding of Horace's distinct contribution to Roman satire; and third an account of Horace's reactions to the civil wars, as traditional Roman ways of viewing and understanding the world began to break down and new ways needed to be created.

520 $a The goal of this dissertation is to re-evaluate the importance and function of the moral content of the first book of Horace's Sermones. I contend that the moral content constitutes part of a pragmatic program that seeks to ameliorate the discord of first century Rome by utilizing the Roman concept of amicitia. Horace faces the problem of adapting satire, a poetic discourse of invective and moral policing to amicitia , which he achieves by adapting satire as part of a system of moral and dialogic pedagogy for both oneself and one's friends. This reading places Horace's first book of Sermones at the intersection of a number of Roman discourses: exemplarity, moral pedagogy, amicitia and libertas. Such a reading achieves three results: first, an appreciation of the importance and complexity of the moral content of the Sermones; second, a better understanding of Horace's distinct contribution to Roman satire; and third an account of Horace's reactions to the civil wars, as traditional Roman ways of viewing and understanding the world began to break down and new ways needed to be created.
520 $a In my first, introductory chapter, I sketch the critical problems of Horace's first book and the scholarly responses to them, their limitations and the place of my own work, before outlining the main points of my methodology and argument. I then establish how the issues of the diatribe satires set the foundation for the concerns of the rest of the libellus. In my second chapter, I turn to the programmatic satire, 1.4 to examine how this poem deals with the problem of the antithetical relationship between friendship and satire and then offers a solution of a Roman satire based on moral pedagogy engaged amongst and with friends coupled with the constant self-satire and moral correction of the satirical subject. My third chapter offers a reading of S. 1.5 and 1.6 that shows how various kinds of friendship work in a real world situation and how the focus the poet's own life demonstrates the efficacy of Horace's satiric program in the previous satire in his friendships with fellow poets like Vergil and most importantly with Maecenas.. My fourth chapter looks to the seventh satire of the first book as an antithetical example of the program of satire and friendship Horace has created thus far and a justification for Horace's non- participation in Roman political life described in 1.6. In my concluding fifth chapter, I sum up the argument and give brief analyses of the anti-example of sermo in 1.8, of S. 1.9 as a test case of evaluating a potential new friend and then of S. 1.10 where both the moral and aesthetic values of the Sermones are developed and expressed in self-pedagoy and dialogic pedagogy, both of which are dependent on amicitia.
