Description: While scholarship has addressed the witches of Horace’s Satire 1.8 and Epode 5, there has been limited discussion of the landscapes they occupy. This paper examines Horace’s evocation of the witches’ landscapes and discusses how landscape is used to evoke and also reflect culturally established sources of fear and anxiety in Rome. Landscape is treated in dialogue with phenomenology and social post-structuralism, their concerns with the intersection of place and identity, and the societal worries underlying these two examples of ‘Triumviral Period’ literature.
