   Stanza One

   ‘Horatius’ opens with an exposition, explaining how Lars Porsena, king of the Etruscans sometime around the 6th century BCE, swore to regain power by beginning a war. Porsena swears that the nine gods of the Etruscans, who were Juno, Minerva, Tinia, Vulcan, Mars, Saturn, Hercules, Summanus, and Vedius. These gods predated the twelve major Roman gods.

   Stanzas 2-8

   Stanzas two through eight serve as a catalog, mimicking the way in which most epic poetry contains a catalog of cities or ships.

   In stanzas nine and ten of ‘Horatius,’ the speaker explains that Lars Porsena is surrounded by thirty priests at all times. These priests refer to their oracles and books of prophecy to determine whether Porsena should go to war. The Etruscans were known to have written from right to left on papers made of linen. Thus, in stanza nine, the priests all refer to a book written by seers long ago. This form of divination, called bibliomancy, was a common practice among the Etruscan and Romans, and...
