註釋The father of Roman literature, Quintus Ennius (239-169 BC) was instrumental in creating a new Roman literary identity. Though later overshadowed by Virgil's 'The Aeneid', Ennius was revered by his contemporaries for producing the first true Latin epic poem. 'The Annals' covered Roman history from the fall of Troy to the censorship of Cato the Elder. Sadly, Ennius' works survive only in fragments, recorded by later writers and painstakingly collected over the centuries by classical scholars, who have analysed the positioning and understanding of these precious remnants. In spite of their fragmentary form, they afford us a rare understanding of the importance of Rome's first epic poet. Delphi's Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Latin and Greek texts. This comprehensive eBook presents Ennius' complete extant works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
