Vir rusticitatiproprior quamdeliciis and eadem illa torvitas;in these words
the Elder Pliny ('Natural History' 35.26) characterisedM. Agrippa, albeit in a
context which hardly supportshis judgement'. Such ancient evaluations have
influenced modem comment on 'Odes' 1.6, Horace's sole lyric addressed to
Agrippa,an erstwhile misunderstoodrecusatio2 n which Horacepasses the taskof eulogising Agrippa's (and Augustus's)achievements n Homericfashionto his
contemporaryand friend L. Varius Rufus. Thus we read3, for example, that
"relations between the grim general and the aesthetic circle of Maecenas can
hardlyhave been close<< nd that 'Odes' 1.6 >>mustave amused andgratified,if
not Agrippa,at any rate Varius".
I It concerns Agrippa's proposal that all works of artbe nationalised

is still partly visible at NISBET-HUBBARD1970) 81-3. For the correct understanding,cf. NANNiNI

This paper attemptsto throwlight on various hithertoneglected or puzzling
features of 'Odes' 1.6 which are, it will be argued,connected with M. Agrippa.They include notably details of stanzas 2 and 4. If what emerges is not a mere
sequenceof mirages,then we can for the firsttimeglimpse aspectsof Horace'swit
which were intended for the amusementandgratificationof Agrippa,as well as of
Varius andthe Romanreadingpublic,and whichperhapsrevealAgrippaas a less
>>grim eneral<<.
The origins of M. Vipsanius Agripparemain a mystery: we know nothing
about his father,his birthplace,or his family's domicile4.Later ancient writers,
with the snobberythentypicalof relativeparvenus,wrote of his lack of nobilitas
and even of his low birth5.Someoneof impoverishedortaintedbackgroundcouldnot, however, have reachedthe intimacyof Dictator Caesar's great-nephewas a
youth and could not have shared Octavian's education.That is now recognised;
and there is considerableplausibilityin the reconstructionpurveyed by RODDAZ
(1984) Ch. 1, which makes of Agrippaa second-generationRomancitizen whose
(probably equestrian)6family came from some (perhaps mountainous) part of
centralItalyand hadgained Romancitizenship only after the Social War7.There
is less consensus about why Agrippadroppedhis nomenVipsaniusfor epigraphic
and fastal purposes8:a fashion sharedinter alios with Maecenas, Messalla and
Augustus himself? Or unease at its backwoods associations9?'Agrippa' on theotherhand,which he clearlypreferred,hadelevatedold Roman associations with
the Menenii and FuriiAgrippae.But it also had, like many Romancognomina, a
meaning,which (againlike thoseof manyRomancognomina) was less elevated10.
An agrippawas a childborn n the breechposition, i.e. feet first, and the wordwas
supposedlyderived romaegre partus. MALTBY(1991) S.V.collects the follow-
ingII:
4 Cf. RODDAZ 1984) Ch. 1 and the works referredto below, nn.5, 7.
5
Notably Senecathe Elder, and, in complimentary mode, Velleius Paterculus. For full
references and discussion, cf. RODDAZ(1984) 15-21; REINHOLD1933) Ch. 1; RE IX A s.v.
Vipsanius 2) coll. 1226-9 (R. HANSLIK); PIR s.v. M. Vipsanius Agrippa 439.
6 Agrippa's first marriage was to Caecilia Attica, daughterof Cicero's wealthy eques friend.
It took place, apparently, in 37 BC, cf. SYME (1986) 143f., 314. Agrippa's choice of bride was
doubtless connected with her dowry; but it may also indicate thathe was of a similar commercial
or tax-gathering equestrianbackground.
7 RODDAZ(1984) 22f., followingespeciallythe leadof T.P. WISEMAN cf. n.30). WISEMAN
(1987) 24f. proposed thatAgrippa's tribe was Sergia and then, by elimination, assigned to him a
Marsian or Asisian origin.
8 He appears,e.g., in his Pantheondedication as M. Agrippa L.f cos. tertium.It is often noted
that his daughterwas Vipsania and his freedmen Vipsanii - but what alternatives were there?9 On this question, cf. esp. RODDAZ1984) 19-21; SYME(1986) 391.
10Although Comm. Einsidl. gramm.suppl. (cited at TLL s.v. Agrippa col. 1430.13-15) hints
that even this etymology might have turned to advantage in the circle of Augustus: agrippae
dicuntur illi, qui cum nimio dolore nascuntur, sicut caesares.II TLL s.v. Agrippa col. 1430.3-19 collects furthersuch material.

Aen. 8,682).
The nameAgrippa,whichappears n 'Odes' 1.6.5, is the point of entryinto the
ode for this enquiry.The name and line 3: quamrem cumqueferox navibus aut
equis need to be consideredin the light of two facts:
1) Augustanpoets aremuch concernedwith 'etymology', i.e. ancientpseudo-
etymology'2, interest in which had been enhanced and disseminated by the
publicationbetween40 and35 BC of Varro'shandbookof etymology 'De Lingua
Latina'.
2) A popularcontemporary inguistic theoryheld that Latin was a dialect of
Greek,close to Aeolic'3.
In these terms, if 'Agrippa' is deemed to contain the two elements agr- and
-ippa, and if these elements are thoughtof as Greekayp-and tmic(a), i.e. as the
stems of, for example, dypto; andticico; / 'irev;, then the opening and
closing words of the phrase erox - equis (which qualifies Agrippa's soldiery -
miles, 4) would constituteLatin equivalentsof the two elements of the 'Greek'name 'Agrippa'14-
One reaction to the above might be to regardit as pure coincidence. Two
points may be made againstthis: 1) the same line (5) which introducesthe name
Agrippa also initiates the Latin 'translations'of partsof the incipits of the two
Homeric epics which occupy lines 6f.; 2) NISBET-HUBBARD1970) 85 on 'Odes'
1.6.3, commenting on navibusaut equis, correctlycharacterise he phrase as ?a
poetical variationfor terra marique (icat& yiv iKatKcom&6Xaoav)<<,noting
that >Horaceconflates it with the othermilitarypolarism, 'with horse and foot'
(into) KalcxX, equis virisque)<<.What needs to be stressedadditionallyis thatthe effect of thisHoratianvariation conflationis to exclude mentionof 'foot', i.e.
infantry(xtsc?, peditibus)15.This exclusion greatlyincreases the likelihood that
ferox - equis is intendedto gloss the stems ayp - tuna. For excluding 'foot'
implies rejectionby Horaceof the standardancientetymology of 'Agrippa';this
(cf. above) associated 'Agrippa'with a feet-firstbirth,invariablyused pedes as
partof its exegesis of the word,and could even, as in the Gellius passage quoted,
substitute orthe usualaegre ... partusetymology of 'Agrippa'one which saw the
(p)pa element of 'Agrippa'as derivedfrompes, viz. vocabulo ab aegritudineet
12Cf. CAIRNS1979) 90-9; McKEowN 1987) 45-62; MALTBYforthcoming).13Cf. MALTBY1993) with references to earlier bibliography.
14 erox is glossed inter alia 'ypto;, cf. TLL s.v. ferox col. 567.2.
'5 Agrippa had, of course, distinguished himself as admiral at Actium, but no parallel victory
achieved by him with cavalry comes to mind.

pedibus conficto, i.e., as it was latermadeexplicit (TLLs.v. Agrippacol. 1430.12),
aegripes - already implied by the ElderPliny's odd belief thatAgrippa's youth
was made wretchedby lameness: adversapedumvalitudinemisera iuventa('Nat-
uralHistory' 7.45).
If, for all the initialstrangenessof theprocedure, t can be acceptedthat in line
3 Horaceis alluding by exclusion to the standard tymology of 'Agrippa'andthat
he is substituting through glossing a more 'learned' and elevated hellenising
etymology of his name, then a thirdpossible etymology of 'Agrippa' lurkingin
stanza 4 can be extracted.That such a thirdetymology should be present need
cause no alarm in principle:ancient poets can ostensibly 'reject' a particular
etymology'6, as Horacerejectsthe breech-birth xplanationof 'Agrippa';buttheycan also imply the simultaneousvalidityof more than one etymology of a single
term17.Before Horace's thirdderivation for 'Agrippa'is accessed, a few words
about otheraspectsof stanzas2 and4: DAVIS1987) q.v., buildingon a suggestion
of D.A. RUSSELLrecorded at NISBET-HUBBARD 1970) 87 on 'Odes' 1.6.13, has
arguedplausibly that stanza4 has for answer"only an alter Homerus as Varius
has proved to be" (295). He has also drawn attentionto the fact thatEnnius had
likewise declared that only Homer could praise Scipio properly;he has shown
how the references to Homer's 'Iliad' and 'Odyssey' in stanza2 of 'Odes' 1.6
evoke this reminiscence, particularlysince Ennius also claimed to be Homerreincarnate;and he has noted that both Enniusand Varius wrote tragediescalled
'Thyestes'. This last observationunderpins he long understoodallusion in line 8
(saevam Pelopis domum) to Varius' famous tragedy 'Thyestes' (cf. NISBET-
HUBBARD(1970) 81 and 86 on 'Odes' 1.6.8). A furthersuggestion may be made:
might Martem(13), prominentlyplaced as second word of stanza4, be a further
allusion to Varius' poetry?Varius wrote a hexameter(therefore homeric(?), cf.
line 2) work entitled 'De Morte' (BUCHNERFPL 130f.); and one etymology of
Mars was from mors (and vice-versa), cf. the following extracts from MALTBY
(1991) s.vv.:
LYD. mens. 4,34 p.91,25 W. tov MdppT?q oi 'Pociaiot g6prpt? ?Kcd'Xouv,'tovet Oava-
tov. ISID. orig. 8,11,51 Martemquasi effectoremmortium.nam a Martemors nuncupatur.
11,2,31morsdicta,quodsit amara, el a Marte,qui est effectormortium.
To continue with stanza 4: NISBET-HUBBARD1970) 88 on 'Odes' 1.6.13, 15
and 16 q.v. have rightly identified Diomedes as the key figure in it. He is the
opponentof Mars(13), the companion of Meriones (14f.), associated with Meri-
ones in the 'Iliad' and possibly even more closely in the 'Posthomerica', and
finally he is the equal of the gods - in Ares' words at 'Iliad' 5.884 and with the
help of Athenathroughouthis 'Iliad'5 aristeia.NISBET-HUBBARD1970) 88 on line
16 E.g. Tib. 1.3.93f., with the discussion at CAIRNS (1979) 97f.17 Cf. Tib. 1.10.1-6, with the discussion at CAIRNS (1979) 98f. and in MALTBY (forthcoming),
where furtherexamples are treated.

M. Agrippa n Horace Odes' 1.6 215
15 have also suggested that perhapsVariuswas contemplatinga 'Diomedeia'. Be
the last point as it may, Diomedes' indisputablycentralrole in stanza 4 is thepointerto Horace's third etymology of 'Agrippa'in 'Odes' 1.6. After the Trojan
War Diomedes went into exile in Italy. There he foundedthe town of Argyrip(p)a
In a footnote to a paper on the text of Juvenal18R.G.M. NISBETraised in
passing the questionwhetherAgrippa andArgyrippamight be connected.NISBET
wrote:"The reasonfor the association>i.e. of Diomedes and Agrippa<in Horace
>i.e. 'Odes' 1.6.13ff.< is not clear:could Agrippa have connectedhis name with
Argyrippa,the hero's city??" ndhe referred o WISEMAN1987) 207ff. "forsuch
fantasies". WhetherAgrippa himself, or his friends, flatterersor family, or Hora-
ce, or a literary predecessor of Horace made the connection is a secondaryquestion. The importantpoint is the connection, and I believe that NISBET'S
suggestion thatit existed is correct.Diomedes' link with Argyrip(p)a s writ large
in Virgil's 'Aeneid'19 somethingwhich may well also reflectAgrippa'sinterest
in the matter;and it is the basis of the active ancient speculationaboutthe name of
the town which is reflectedin MALTBY1991) S.V.:
Argyripa, -ae f. (oppid. Dauniae). VERG. Aen. 11,246 Diomedes urbem Argyripam patriae

tum Arpos fecit. thes. gloss.
There are,of course,othervalidpart-explanations f Horace'sheavy focus on
Diomedes. Whetheror not Varius was planninga 'Diomedeia', Diomedes, as the
ideal Homericwarrior20who first shows deferenceto Agamemnon,thendisplays
every aspectof bravery,determination ndastuteness,andhas, it seems, no moral
faults, is anextremelytactful model for M. Agrippa.But the fact that the name of
Diomedes' Italian home town Argyrip(p)ais so close to the name Agrippa2l
would surely not have escaped the notice of Horace's contemporaryreaders,
18 NIsBET (1988) 105 n.29, discussing Juv.10.81ff. and referring also (in the note and in his
text) to the sculptures in the grotto of Tiberius at Sperlonga.19Cf. Enciclopedia Virgiliana s.v. Arpi.20 The characterisation of Diomedes in the 'Iliad' is patent, and was recognised instantly by
the ancient scholia: cf. e.g., on the early books, Sch. 4.402, 5.335-6, 8.146, and esp. 9.31 (ERBSE).
21Cf. the strange argumentation of G. RADKE (RE s.v. Volsci coll. 804f.) - who had no
thought of 'Odes' 1.6. Working in the reverse direction, RADKE derived the name 'Agrippa' from
'Arguripa' via a series of sound changes: >>Der ame Arguripa wurde unterAnfangsbetonung zu
*Argrlpa,das durch Assimilation zu Xgripa(vgl. *ispsezu ipse u.a. ... ) und unter spontaner
Konsonantengemination (Sommer 202) zu Agrippa wurdeo<.The town name turnsup as 'Agrip-
pa' in GLOSS V 520.12 (cf. TLL s.v. Argyripa col. 559.64), presumably through textual
corruption.Similar corruptionsturn'Agrippa' into something more like Argyri(p)pa (cf. TLL s. v.
Agrippa col. 1429.48-60).

especially since two etymologies of 'Agrippa' already appearin the ode, albeit
one by exclusion. It would have been all the clearer f the association hadalreadybeen made, andeven more obvious if theoriginsof Agrippa'sfamily in fact lay in
Daunia/ Apulia somewherein the regionof the town. Before this last questionis
raised, two confirmatory points emerging from the ancient etymologies of
Argyrip(p)a(above) may be noted. These all derive Argyrip(p)afrom "Apyo
tInitov, Diomedes' originaldwelling-place in Greece. This derivationreminds
us firstlythatthesaeva Pelopis domus of 'Odes' 1.6.8reignedin Argos. Secondly
it reveals how easily an ancientetymologistcould have thoughtof 'Agrippa'as a
Greek name22dividing into Agr- and -ippa, and how easily again he could have
referredthe -ippa element to ttiio; / ri7em?5Thus it underlinesthe suggestionsmade above aboutferox ... equis.
Might, then, Agrippa'sfamily really have been associated with Argyrip(p)a?
Argyrip(p)aconformsreasonablywell withRODDAZ1984)'s prescription ortheir
place of origin. It is in centralItaly,and,althoughon the Apulianplain, is not far
fromMonteGargano.The town was of no great mportance n the second and first
centuriesBC; its insignificancecould help explain why accountsof Agrippasay
nothing about t. Its inhabitantspresumably eceivedRomancitizenshipin 90 BC;
this would fit RODDAZ 1984)'s conclusionaboutthestatusof Agrippa's fatherand
grandfather.Anothertown,Arpinum,birthplaceof Marius andCicero,has a localtradition discussed in detail at REINHOLD1933) 9f. n.37 that Agrippatoo came
from Arpinum.Nothing can be based on this. As REINHOLDxplained,no ancient
or archaeologicalevidence for this claim exists, it is certainly untrue, and it may
well be a modem invention.Its sole - curiosity- value lies in the fact thatthere
was ancient confusion (at Martial4.55.3 andPlutarch Cicero' 8) between Arpi-
num andthe everyday nameof Argyrip(p)a, .e. Arpi23.That the two places were
confused is small wonder,since the inhabitantsof Arpi/ Argyri(p)pa(as well as
being called Arpani)can also be Arpini (cf. TLL s.v. Arpicol. 630.75-80), while
the inhabitants ofArpinum,
aswell as being Arpinates, are also occasionallycalled Arpini (cf. RE s.v. Arpinum)24.
In Augustan Rome distinguishedoriginsandassociationswerebeing invented
wholesale for men who hadsurvived the Civil Warsandemerged in a flourishing
condition.Two Valeriiwho weregenuinearistocrats,MessallaRufusand Messal-
la Corvinus, were outraged by such practices25.But Horace was not so austere:
Aeli vetustonobilis ab Lamo ('Odes' 3.17.1) addressesL. Aelius Lamia, son of a
22 oypurnoqwastheLaconianerm orthewild-olive cf.LSJs.v.). Inevitably nethinksof
