Abstract

Of the 68 similes that appear in the Carmina, 12 are inspired on the Iliad. This paper analyzes each of them in its context, examining the way Horace receives and adapts them, and how he achieves to convert them in models for other genres. In the points it becomes pertinent, transmission of the text is discused. On the other hand, subjects are summarized and too the introductory particles, not significative in relation with the homeric model and finally it is examined the adequacy of the similes to Ancient Rhetorical Theory.
