Extract

It used to be supposed that the Ode (Horace i. 28) was a dialogue between Archytas and a sailor, the nauta of verse 23, but considerable difficulties arise in assigning the various verses to the two speakers. It is therefore now the generally accepted view that the Ode is a dramatic monologue by the ghost of a drowned man whose corpse lies unburied on the Marine shore near the grave of Archytas.
