	The Pyrrha Ode
		A New Interpretation of the Pyrrha Ode (Horace, Ode 1.5)
		Pyrrha, then, is youthful enough to appeal to a mere boy, Horace mature and his shipwrecked feelings those of long ago.
		Thus Pyrrha seems to Horace representative of the type of beautiful and deceptive woman who was dangerous to him in his immaturity, and this poem is the result of that recognition.

	Pyrrha, etching by Colleen Corradi
		For a long time Pyrrha to me was a fortified city on the slopes of a bay, with high windows and towers, enclosed like a goblet, with a central square deep as a well, with a well in its center.
		Pyrrha had its place among them, different from each ot them, and like each of them, unmistakable to the mind's eye.
		From that moment on the name Pyrrha has brought to my mind this view, this light, this buzzing, this air in which a yellowish dust flies: obviously the name means this and could mean nothing but this.

		Horace, on the other hand, while he se es the darker side of love, as in Ode 1.5, about the manipulative Pyrrha, and Ode 1.25, about how Lydia is old and is no longer desired, continues to have faith that love is good, for the most part, and sees it in a positive light.
		Pyrrha also has an “aurae fallacis,” or “treacherous breeze.” But unlike Catullus, Horace can display “uvida vestimenta,” signifying that he escaped Pyrrha’s tempests.
		For instance, Ode 1.23 introduces Chloe, who is Pyrrha’s polar opposite: modest, timid “hinnuleo similis,” and “quaerenti pavidam matrem.” As Ode 1.23 illustrates, Horace’s many pursuits make him somewhat of a victimizer in contrast to Catullus, the ultimate victim of fickle love.

		Not only does "aurea" recall Pyrrha's "flavam coman" [yellow/golden hair] and not only does it transmute her physical characteristics into a mistaken moral judgment by her naive lover, but it further replicates the inevitable, heart-wrenching knowledge the "puer" will discover once he becomes one of the "miseri" who have known and lost Pyrrha's affections.
