Licymnia
spoken of by Horace (Hor. Carm. 2.12. 13, &c.), is maintained at great length by Weichert (Poetar. Latin. Reliquiae, p. 462, &c.) to be the same as Terentia, the wife of Maecenas; but it seems impossible that Horace could have used such amatory language as he employs in this ode in reference to the wife of Maecenas. (Comp. Teuffel, in Zeitschrift für die Alterthumsw. p. 46, &c., 1845.)
