His comedy, like that of Plautus, seems to have been rather a free adaptation of his originals than a rude copy of them, as those of Livius probably were, or an artistic copy like those of Terence. He drew from the writers of the old political comedy of Athens, as well as from the new comedy of manners, and he attempted to make the stage at Rome, as it had been at Athens, an arer, a of political and personal warfare. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Gnaeus-Naevius   (2064 words)

Statius --  Encyclopædia Britannica in full Publius Papinius Statius one of the principal Roman epic and lyric poets of the Silver Age of Latin literature ( His occasional poems, collected under the title Silvae (“Forests”), apart from their literary merit, are valuable for their description of the life style of a wealthy and fashionable class—the liberti—during the reign of the emperor Domitian.

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.05.22 They range from Caecilius Statius and Lutatius Catulus in the second century BCE on one end to Lucan's Orpheus of the mid-first century CE on the other; they cover drama, lyric, epigram, satire, epic, and didactic. His discussion of the Aethrio of Caecilius Statius--the only previously unpublished paper in the volume--destroys forever the idea that it has anything to do with Plautus' Amphitruo, and he does so by careful and learned analysis of the context of quotation in Nonius Marcellus, of syntax, and of sense. His lengthy discussion of Lucan's extremely fragmentary Orpheus (the latest text discussed) is in part an explication of the ways in which Statius used the Orpheus in Silvae 2.7 (the Genethliacon Lucani), in turn using Statius to recover the structure of the lost poem. ccat.sas.upenn.edu /bmcr/2003/2003-05-22.html   (1336 words)

414 Roman Comedy II (Terence), Classical Drama and Theatre This does not mean, of course, that Caecilius Statius wrote in Greek but suggests that he inclined away from the Romanizing tendencies of his immediate predecessors Naevius and Plautus whose plays almost invariably have Latin titles, often not even translations of the original Greek title (note). Ancient sources report he died young and, since his last play was produced in 160 BCE, he was probably born between 195 and 185 and died in the early 150's (note). Thus, he would never have known Plautus, though there are other reasons these two are not likely to have met—they traveled in very different social circles—but Terence could have known Caecilius Statius, and apparently did (note). www.usu.edu /markdamen/ClasDram/chapters/143terence.htm   (3524 words)
