  1. Latin poetry

    Refimprove date August 2008 The history of Latin poetry can be understood as the adaptation of Greek models. The verse comedies of Plautus are the earliest Latin literature that has survived, composed around 205 184 BC, yet the start of Latin literature is conventionally dated to the first performance of a play in verse by a Greek slave, Livius Andronicus , at Rome in 240 BC. Livius translated Greek New Comedy for Roman audiences, using meters that were basically those of Greek drama, modified to the needs of Latin. His successors Plautus and Terence further refined the borrowings from the Greek stage and the prosody of their verse is substantially the same as for classical Latin verse. ref R.H.Martin, Terence Adelphoe , Cambridge University Press 1976 , pages 1 and 32 ref The traditional meter of Greek epic, the dactylic hexameter, was introduced into Latin literature by Ennius 239 169 BC , virtually a contemporary of Livius, who substituted it for the jerky Saturnian meter in which Livius had been composing epic verses. Ennius moulded a poetic diction and style suited to the imported hexameter, providing a model for classical poets such as Virgil and Ovid . ref P.G.McBrown, The First Roman Literature in The Oxford History of the Classical World , J.Boardman, J.Griffin and O.Murray eds , Oxford University Press 1995 page 450 52 ref The late republic saw the emergence of Neoteric Poets , notably Catullus emdash rich young men from the Italian provinces, conscious of metropolitan sophistication, and looking to the scholarly Alexandrian period Alexandrian poet Callimachus for inspiration ... tetrameter iambic tetrameter catalectic a dialogue meter borrowed from Aristophanes Old Comedy Old ... style.
