Latin: Epic
From Virgil’s Aeneid — the national epic of Rome — to Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Lucan’s civil-war epic, and the silver-age poems of Statius, Silius Italicus and Valerius Flaccus, these are the long poems in which Rome told its own story. Claudian’s late-antique panegyrics close the tradition. Every text below is a complete parsing reader: click any word for its lemma, morphology, and full entry from Lewis & Short.
