Relating to mimiambs.“Watson and others (Ingallina 1980: 357, Fedeli 1979: 95–6) are convincing in their observations of mimiambic elements in Epode 5, but this is not necessarily proof that the poem needs be wholly comic in tone—especially given the existence of characters who were, in Watson's own words, "coarsely erotic, violent, sadistic and murderous, ... creature[s] virtually devoid of conscience".”
