Propertius’ elegy 4, 6 reproposes the symposiac setting for celebratory poetry, well attested in the Hellenistic age.

Abstract
Propertius’ elegy 4, 6 reproposes the symposiac setting for celebratory poetry, well attested in the Hellenistic age. Thus we have another trait that unites Roman panegyric experiments with the tradition of court poetry. Particularly sophisticated is the way in which this is interwoven with Callimachean allusions in Propertius’ elegy on the battle of Actium. A similar procedure is present in a group of Horatian Odes (3, 14; 4, 5 and 15).
