AB - The aim of this paper is to examine the social role of the Roman poets of the 1st century BC through the Augustan poet Horace’s Carmen Saeculare. What Werner Jaeger once demonstrated in his famous work Paideia the tradition of the poet-educator, is how the Greek poet appeared in public in the festivals as an educator. If we are looking for a Greek-like festival in Rome, we should consider the festival Ludi Saeculares hosted by Augustus in 17 BC. At this time, the poet Horace composed the song Carmen Saeculare, a choir performance which was the last event of the festival. At the same time, Carmen Saeculare has been interpreted generally as a song of praise to advertise the prosperous reign of Augustus, during which the role of the poet was not greatly highlighted. We assert that Horace, unconcerned about the will of his employer, did not compliment his employer, and positioned himself as an educator. In the course of the choral representation of Carmen Saeculare, the poet spoke, to all Roman citizens including very mighty powers, especially to the next generation, perceptively of the future of peace and prosperity which citizens could have, if they, starting from now, would cultivate and learn the moral virtues and attitudes.
