An Evaluation: Greek and Roman Literature
CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Roman literature, while it lacks the brilliant originality and the delicate beauty which characterize the works of the Great writers, is still one of the great literatures of the world and it possesses an importance for us which are even greater that its intrinsic merits (great as they are) would naturally give it. In the first place, roman literature has preserved to us, Latin translations and adaption, many important remains of Greek literature which would otherwise have been lost, and in the second place, the political Latin power of the Romans, embracing nearly the whole known world, made the Latin language the most widely spread of all languages, and this caused Latin literature to be read in all lands and to influence the literary development of the peoples of Europe. [1]
The literature of ancient Rome produced many works of poetry, comedy, tragedy, satire, history and rhetoric, drawing heavily of the traditions of other cultures and particularly on the more matured literally tradition of Greece. Latin literature, the body of written works in the Latin language, remains an enduring legacy of the culture of Ancient Rome. Long after the Western Roman Empire had fallen, the Latin language continued to play a central role in Western European civilization. Latin literature is conventionally divided into distinct periods. Few works remain of early and old Latin; among these few surviving works, however, are the plays of Plautus and Terence, which many other Latin works, including many by the most prominent authors of the classical period, have disappeared, sometimes being rediscovered after
