In what follows I attempt to list the direct addressees of the poet in this work. My classification is summarized in a table added as an apendix to this entry. Line 45 ⟶ 39: ☞ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortuna Fortuna]: 1.35 (“''diva, gratum quae regis Antium''”). ☞ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_(mythology) Jupiter]: 1.12 (“''orte Saturno''”). ☞ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leto Latona]: 1.21 (“''Latonamque''”). ☞ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melpomene Melpomene]: 1.24, 3.30, 4.3 (“''Melpomene''”). ☞ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_(mythology) Mercury]: 1.2 (“''filius Maiae''”), 1.10, 3.11 (“''Mercuri''”). ☞ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muses Muse]: 1.26 (“''quae fontibus integris gaudes''”, “''Piplei dulcis''”).<ref>Pipla is “''a bizarre spelling of Pimplea''’” (David R. Slavitt, ''Horace: Odes'', University of Wisconsin Press, Madison and London, 2014, p. 40). Pimplea or Pimpleia (Πίμπλεια in Greek) was a place sacred to the Muses in Pieria, Greece.</ref> ☞ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_(mythology) Venus]: 1.30, 4.1 (“''Venus''”), 3.26 (“''quae beatam diva tenes Cyprum et Memphin carentem Sithonia nive, regina''”). == 1.1.2.1.2.

Statesmen == ☞ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus Augustus]: 1.2, 4.15 (“''Caesar''”), 4.5 (“''Divis orte bonis, optume Romulae custos gentis''”, “''duxe bone''”),<ref>The word “''Caesar''” exists in this ode, but Augustus is addressed here only through the use of honorific vocatives.</ref> 4.14 (“''Auguste''”). ☞ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaius_Asinius_Pollio Gaius Asinius Pollio]: 2.1 (“''Pollio''”). ☞ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valgius_Rufus Gaius Valgius Rufus]: 2.9 (“''Valgi''”). ☞ Lucius Licinius Murena: 2.10 (“''Licini''”). ☞ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucius_Munatius_Plancus Lucius Munatius Plancus]: 1.7 (“''Plance''”). ☞ Marcus Lollius: 4.9 (“''Lolli''”). ☞ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Vipsanius_Agrippa Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa]: 1.6 (“''Agrippa''”). ☞ Quintus Dellius: 2.3 (“''Delli''”). == 1.1.2.2.1.1.3. Others == This section mostly (but not always) lists the poet’s love interests: “''Horace introduces so many different names [...], and refrains so consistently from decisively casting his erotic lot with any of these, that readers must either marvel at the variegation of his love life or recognize that Horatian lyric is not invested in the development of a coherent erotic ‘plot’''” (Ellen Oliensis, ''Loving Writing / Ovid’s Amores'', Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2019, p. 109).
