Livius Andronicus From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Lucius Livius Andronicus 260 BC 200 BC ?), not to be confused with the later historian Livy , was a Greco-Roman dramatist and epic poet who produced the first Roman dramatic work and translated many Greek works into Latin . He is regarded as the father of Roman drama and epic poetry. Andronicus was probably born in the Greek colony of Tarentum (now Taranto Italy ), and was made a slave to a Livian noble. After being freed and adopting the name of his former master, Andronicus became the first Greek teacher in Rome. Andronicus is considered the first Roman author and the founder of Roman epic poetry. He produced for the uncultured Romans their first formal play, a translation of a Greek drama, in 240 BC . His most important work is Odysseia , a Latin version of Homer 's Odyssey written in Saturnian verses . He is also quoted as producing various other poems.

Home Ancient Theatre Medieval Theatre 16th Century ... 20th Century LIVIUS ANDRONICUS The following biography is reprinted from LIVIUS ANDRONICUS, the father of Roman poetry, by birth a Greek of Tarentum, first went to Rome at the commencement of the sixth century from the foundation of the city, as instructor to the children of Livius Salinator. He introduced upon the Roman stage, dramas after the Grecian model, and, besides several epic poems, wrote a translation of the Odyssey , in the old Saturnine verse. We have only a few fragments of his writings, which may be found in the Comici Latini , and the The following article is reprinted from Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities. Ed. William Smith. Boston: Little, Brown, and Company, 1870. It was 123 years after the first introduction of scenic performances [in Rome] before the improvement was introduced of having a regular plot. This advance was made by Livius Andronicus, a native of Magna Graecia, in B.C. 240. His pieces, which were both tragedies and comedies, were merely adaptations of Greek dramas. His popularity increasing, a building on the Aventine hill was assigned to him for his use, which served partly as a theatre, partly as a residence for a troop of players, for whom Livius wrote his pieces. The representation of regular plays of this sort was now left to those who were histriones by profession, and who were very commonly either foreigners or slaves; the free-born youth of Rome confined their own scenic performances to the older, irregular farces, which long maintained their ground, and were subsequently called

Livius Andronicus From LoveToKnow 1911 LIVIUS ANDRONICUS c. 284-204 B.C.), the founder of Roman epic poetry and drama. His name, in which the Greek Avbpovucos is combined with the gentile name of one of the great Roman houses, while indicative of his own position as a manumitted slave, is also significant of the influences by which Roman literature was fostered, viz. the culture of men who were either Greeks or "semi-Graeci" by birth and education, and the protection and favour bestowed upon them by the more enlightened members of the Roman aristocracy . He is supposed to have been a native of Tarentum , and to have been brought, while still a boy, after the capture of that town in 272, as a slave to Rome . He lived in the household of a member of the gens Livia, probably M. Livius Salinator. He determined the course which Roman literature followed for more than a century after his time. The imitation of Greek comedy , tragedy and epic poetry , which produced great results in the hands of Naevius, Plautus, Ennius and their successors, received its first impulse from him. To judge , however, from the insignificant remains of his writings, and from the opinions of Cicero and Horace , he can have had no pretension either to original genius or to artistic accomplishment. His real claim to distinction was that he was the first great schoolmaster of the Roman people. We learn from Suetonius that, like Ennius after him, he obtained his living by teaching Greek and

Reviewed by James E. G. Zetzel, Columbia University ( zetzel@columbia.edu) Word count: 839 words If the title of this book were not completely misleading, I would not have undertaken to review it. As Livingston says in her two-paragraph introduction, the book is not exhaustive. That is an understatement: it is a discussion of eighteen morphological items that happen to occur in the fragments of Livius Andronicus, ranging from the vocative formations filie and Laertie , which L. reasonably concludes are linguistic innovations rather than archaisms, to an unconvincing explanation of the alternative ablative plural dextrabus to a valuable exposition of the origin and meaning of the adverb topper . An appendix on formations of the type luculentus is the longest single discussion in the book; it is not, unfortunately, an item to be found in Livius. The only general pattern mentioned by L. and it covers by no means all the items discussed that emerges is that some of the more peculiar forms are innovations rather than Indo-European survivals; but while some of L.'s discussions may illuminate Latin or Indo-European word formation, nothing that she says has anything in particular to do with Livius Andronicus, and I see nothing that is helpful for understanding archaic Roman poetry. Most of the formations that L. discusses are, not surprisingly, anomalous; and the arguments that she uses to explicate them range from analogical innovation within Latin to fairly elaborate searches for possible cognates in other IE languages. Like much other speculative historical linguistics, L.'s arguments are not consistent with one another, at times invoking phonological rules as absolutes, at other times making exceptions to those rules on semantic or other grounds. I am not a historical linguist, and cannot assess L.'s technical arguments fairly; but all too often they smack of
