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 ...

The Latin Anthology is the appellation bestowed upon a collection of fugitive Latin poetry Latin verse , from the age of Ennius to about 1000, formed by Pieter Burmann the Younger . Nothing corresponding to the Greek Anthology is known to have existed among the Romans, though professional epigram matists like Martial published their volumes on their own account, and detached sayings were excerpted from authors like Ennius and Publius Syrus , while the Priape a were probably but one among many collections on special subjects. The first general collection of scattered pieces made by a modern scholar was Scaliger s Catalecta veterum Poetarum 1573 , succeeded by the more ample one of Pithoeus , Epigrammata et Poemata e Codicibus et Lapidibus collecta 1590 . Numerous additions, principally from inscriptions , continued to be made, and in 1759 1773 Burmann digested the whole into his Anthologia veterum Latinorum Epigrammatum et Poematum . This, occasionally reprinted, was the standard edition until 1869, when Alexander Riese commenced a new and more critical recension, from which many pieces improperly inserted by Burmann are rejected, and his classified arrangement is discarded for one according to the sources whence the poems have been derived. The first volume contains those found in MSS., in the order of the importance of these documents those furnished by inscriptions following. The first volume in two parts appeared in 1869 1870, a second edition of the first part in 1894, and the second volume, Carmina Epigraphica in two parts , in 1895 1897, edited by F. B cheler.
