Abstract

The article concentrates upon the relationship between logic and poetry in Horace's odes from the point of view of language and argumentation. At a first level, I examine the extent to which the poet’s linguistic and argumentative techniques agree with the classical structures and strategies of argumentation, but, at a deeper level of analysis, the article aims to show how logic and philosophy intertwine with poetry through stylistics and metre. The study identifies three principal types of argumentative discourse that can be found in the Horatian odes: the demonstration, with its strong (induction) and weak (petitio principii, hasty generalisation) forms, the exhortation, which may be either based upon analogy or accompanied by short explanations, and the contrasting of arguments.
