	Ovid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The carmen, however, is probably his Ars Amatoria, a didactic poem offering amatory advice to Roman men and women, which had been in circulation for several years.
		Even though he was friendly with the natives of Tomis and even wrote poems in their language, he still pined for Rome and his beloved third wife.
		Many of the poems are addressed to her, but also to Augustus, whom he calls Caesar and sometimes God, to himself, and even sometimes to the poems themselves, which expresses his heart-felt solitude.

	Pseudo-Phocylides
		For in the Hellenistic period a didactic poem (ποιημα νουθετικον) was interpolated in his work by a Jew (or Christian?) giving in 230 hexameters moral instruction of the most diversified kind.
		Hence a certain decision as to the Jewish or Christian origin of the poem seems to me especially turned by the fact, that the author's moral teaching coincides only with the Old Testament and not with the moral legislation of Christ, as we have it in the synoptists.
		In itself this Stoic influence only indicates that the poem was written after 300 B.C., but the mental affinity, in several parts of the poem, especially with first century A.D. Stoics like Musonius Rufus, Seneca and Hierocles strongly points to the Imperial period.

		He was a precocious child, and when he left school in 1749 was widely read in the Latin classics and the leading contemporary French writers; amongst German poets his favourites were Brockes and Klopstock.
		The poems he wrote at the university--Hermann, an epic (published by F Muncker, 1886), Zwölf moralische Briefe in Versen (1752), Anti-Ovid (1752)--are pietistic in tone and dominated by the influence of Klopstock.
		With the poems Musarion oder die Philosophie der Grazien (1768), Idris (1768), Combabus (1770), Der neue Amadis (1771), Wieland opened the series of light and graceful romances in verse which appealed so irresistibly to his contemporaries and acted as an antidote to the sentimental excesses of the subsequent Sturm und Drang movement.

	hexameter
		Classical epic poets thereafter, including Vergil, used this meter, and it was extended to didactic and satirical literature, as in the works of Lucretius and Martial.
		In modern languages the only possible substitute for the quantitative differences that were essential to classical meters is in the stress accent; hence we have a noticeably singsong effect when English dactylic hexameter is read aloud.
		He is the author of a didactic poem (in five books of...

	Parmenides [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Parmenides broke with the older Ionic prose tradition by writing in hexameter verse.
		His didactic poem, called On Nature, survives in fragments, although the Proem (or introductory discourse) of the work has been preserved.
		Parmenides was a young man when he wrote it, for the goddess who reveals the truth to him addresses him as 'youth'.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Leo X
		Among the Italian poets Trissino wrote a tragedy, "Sophonisba", and an epic "L'Italia liberata dai Gothi", but had no real success with either in spite of earnest purpose and beauty of language.
		Rucellai, a relative of the pope, whose clever and sympathetic didactic poem on bees met with great approval from his contemporaries, owed his reputation chiefly to an inferior work, the tragedy of "Rosmonda".
		The celebrated improvisatore, Tebaldeo wrote in both Latin and Italian.

		Only a few representative writers will be highlighted below.
		For most of the early astrological writers, we can only speculate about their theoretical justification for the practice, two exceptions being first century B.C.E. Roman Stoic Manilius, (from whom we have the Latin didactic poem, Astronomica), and Thrasyllus, whose work is described above.
		Manilius was also associated with the Roman imperial circle, dedicating his work to either Augustus or Tiberius (see Cramer, p.
