  Gnaeus Naevius - LoveToKnow 1911
As distinguished from Livius Andronicus, Naevius was a native Italian, not a Greek; he was also an original writer, not a mere adapter or translator.
If it was due to Livius that the forms of Latin literature were, from the first, moulded on those of Greek literature, it was due to Naevius that much of its spirit and substance was of native growth.
The power of Naevius was the more genuine Italian gift - the power of satiric criticism - which was employed in making men ridiculous, not, like that of Plautus, in extracting amusement from the humours, follies and eccentricities of life.

Het is zelfs mogelijk dat hij er nog in zijn sterfjaar aan heeft gewerkt in Utica.
Vanuit Naevius’ patriottisch perspectief is dat een volkomen legitieme en goede zaak.
Toch doet zo’n negatief oordeel geen recht aan Naevius.

 Gnaeus Naevius   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
On the whole, we are inclined to justify the people in their admiration for him as a genuine exponent of the strong native humour of his day, which the refined poets of a later age could not appreciate.
The Metelli, especially, were assailed by him, and it was probably through their resentment that he was sent to prison, where he solaced himself by composing two comedies.
If mortals might weep for mortals, the divine Camenae would weep for Naevius the poet; thus it is that now he has been delivered into the treasure-house of Orcus, men have forgotten at Rome how to speak the Latin tongue.

 Naevius
NE of the earliest of the Latin dramatists was Naevius, an Italian though probably not a Roman citizen.
Naevius considered himself, probably with some justice, a champion of the native modes of thought.
His works continued to be popular for centuries after his death; but his voice was almost the only one lifted up on support of the native style and subjects.

Naevius seems to have transmitted an hereditary enmity against the nobility, if, indeed, the tribune Naevius, who accused Scipio of peculation in b.
Naevius was both an epic and a dramatic poet.
The remains of Naevius are too insignificant to afford any criterion of his poetical merits, concern­ing which we must therefore be content to accept the testimony of antiquity.

 Oration for P. Quinctius by M. Tullius Cicero
Because Naevius was saying what a good man ought, Quinctius believed that he who imitated the language of good men, would imitate also their actions.
Then of his own accord he calls Naevius to account, in order, since he suspected that there would be a dispute about something, to provide for the termination of the business as soon as possible, and with the smallest possible trouble.
Then Naevius sends his slaves round to his friends; he summons himself all his associates from the halls of Licinius and from the jaws of the shambles, and entreats them to come to the booth of Sextus by the second hour of the next day.

 [No title]
Naevius laid the foundation of the Roman epic; he left it at his death--in spite of the despondent and perhaps jealous criticism which he left as his epitaph--in the hands of an abler and more illustrious successor.
Extracts are quoted from it by the grammarians as specimens of the language of the period.
Like Naevius a century and a half before, he might have left the proud and pathetic saying on his tomb that, after he was dead, men forgot to speak Latin in Rome.

 Warped Intertextualities
Naevius is describing an incident from 257BC which took place during the first Punic War, but which is mentioned only once elsewhere in the extant sources
In Naevius' case this question is especially challenging because of the fragmentary nature of the Bellum Punicum.
Firstly, the fact that Naevius' Bellum Punicum was used by Tacitus and by others elsewhere points towards deliberate manipulation of the epic fragment: it is a specific example of a wider phenomenon.

 Pro. P. Quinctio M. Tulli Ciceronis Oratio
Gaius died, and left his brother Publius his heir, between whom and Naevius there arose disputes concerning the division of property of the partnership.
Naevius interposed difficulties in the way of his doing so, and by various artifices tried to make it appear that Publius had forfeited his recognizances; which would have given a different complexion to the whole case, as to forfeit one's recognizances was a crime liable to the punishment of infamia at Rome.
Cicero undertook the defense of Quinctius at the request of Roscius the actor--Naevius' cause was conducted by Hortensius, at that time the greatest orator in Rome.

 Gnaeus Naevius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If these lines were dictated by a jealousy of the growing ascendancy of Ennius, the life of Naevius must have been prolonged considerably beyond 204, the year in which Ennius began his career as an author in Rome.
Among the titles of his tragedies are Aegisthus, Lycurgus, Andromache or Hector Proficiscens, Equus Trojanus, the last named being performed at the opening of Pompey's theatre (55 AD).
The power of Naevius was the more genuine Italian gift, the power of satiric criticism which was employed in making men ridiculous, not, like that of Plautus, in extracting amusement from the humours, follies and eccentricities of life.

ABSTRACT.-We sequenced 912 bp of the cytochrome-b gene to examine phylogenetic relationships of the enigmatic Saw-billed Hermit (Ramphodon naevius), a large and distinctive hummingbird endemic to tropical forests of southeastern Brazil.
Analysis based on DNA sequences reveals that R. naevius is a surprisingly derived member of the hermit subfamily.
However, the intrafamilial affinities of the enigmatic Saw-billed Hermit (Ramphodon naevius), a large and distinctive form endemic to the humid lowlands of southeastern Brazil (Ruschi 1986, Grantsau 1988, Sick 1993), have been the subject of considerable debate (Monroe and Sibley 1993, Hinkelmann and Schuchmann 1997, Gerwin and Zink 1998, del Hoyo et al.

 Archaic Latin Verse
The aim of this text is to make select fragments of archaic Latin verse available to students by providing the most accessible selections arranged by genre, rather than author, with brief explanatory and grammatical notes necessary for a first translation.
I highlight the influence of the carmen on subsequent Latin poetry; Livius Andronicus, Naevius, and Ennius on Vergil’s Aeneid and Horace’s Odes; the dramatists on Seneca; Caecilius on the development of Roman comedy; and Lucilius on the satires of Horace and Juvenal.
I follow the chronological order of literary developments within genres which has inevitably led to a sequential listing of some works when a synchronistic development across genres is more accurate.

 415 Roman Tragedy, Classical Drama and Theatre
Ennius' somewhat older peer, Gnaeus Naevius whom we noted earlier as a comic playwright was another early Roman tragedian.
The fabulae praetextae were, evidently, not a resounding success and may even have played some role in landing Naevius in jail after he incurred the wrath of powerful men in Rome (see Chapter 14).
The great names associated with Roman tragedy come, in fact, in the centuries-long intermission between Naevius and Seneca, especially during the second century BCE (200-100 BCE), the same age when Plautus and Terence were writing.
