		Ennius, on the other hand, was by temperament in thorough sympathy with the dominant aristocratic element in Roman life and institutions.
		Ennius prided himself especially on being the first to form the strong speech of Latium into the mould of the Homeric hexameter in place of the old Saturnian metre.
		And although it took several generations of poets to beat their music out to the perfection of the Virgilian cadences, yet in the rude adaptation of Ennius the secret of what ultimately became one of the grandest organs of literary expression was first discovered and revealed.

		Silius’ interpretation of this passage matches that found in Servius: according to him, Messapus was claimed by Ennius as an ancestor, and Virgil praises Ennius’ poetry through the simile of the swans in 7.699-702.
		Interestingly, Messapus in Virgil’s Aeneid is both a figure of the poet Ennius and the subject of his ‘fellow-poets’ praises: it is just the same situation of Silius’ episode, where Ennius is a warrior praised for his ability as a poet praising warriors.
		The main Virgilian model for the Ennius episode in Silius is the killing of Numanus Remulus by Ascanius in Aeneid 9.590-663.

		This great scholar shows that, whereas after Ennius classic poetry was based on quantity alone, before him accent had at least as important a place; and, indeed, that in the determination of quantity, the main results in many cases were produced by the influence of accent.
		Ennius harmonised with great skill the claims of both, doing little more violence to the natural accent in his elaborate system of quantity than was done by the Saturnian and comic poets with their fluctuating usage.
		It is certainly less laboured than that of Ennius, and though it lacks the racy flavour of Plautus, shows no inferiority to his in command of the resources of the language.

	Abstract
		Cicero, Ennius, and the Advent of Ruler Cult at
		Since critical religious discourse was in its formative stage at this relatively late point in Roman history, the writings of Cicero and his contemporaries were in a privileged position to validate, establish, or occlude the vast range of practices that made up Roman religious life.
		Enlisting Ennius in the De Re Publica project was doubly advantageous- he could not only be summoned as the singer par excellence of the mos maiorum but he had also translated Euhemerus' work on the apotheosis of primitive kings for a Roman audience.

		While he is never ranked as a writer of tragedy with Ennius, Pacuvius or Accius, he is placed in the canon of the grammarian Volca~,ius Sedigitus third (immediately after Caecilius and Plautus) in the rank of Roman comic authors.
		He is also appealed to, with Plautus and Ennius, as a master of his art in one of the prologues of Terence.
		As a dramatist he worked more in the spirit of Plautus than of Ennius, Pacuvius, Accius or Terence; but the great Umbrian humorist is separated from his older contemporary, not only by his breadth of comic power, but by his general attitude of moral and political indifference.

		He said there were some 20-odd fragments in the Ennius bunch, all so badly damaged that the nature of the text had earlier been unclear, but now they were recognized as hexameters; he assigned them to Annales bk.6, relating them to the war with Pyrrhus.

		At the outset, its pretensions were very slender, for the earliest men of learning, who were both poets and orators, may be considered as half-Greek: I speak of Livius [844] and Ennius [845], who are acknowledged to have taught both languages as well at Rome as in foreign parts [846].
