  Publius Terentius Varro - LoveToKnow 1911
Accordingly to Jerome, Varro did not begin to study Greek literature until his thirty-fifth year.
The age was prolific of epics, both historical and mythological, and that of Varro seems to have held a high rank among them.
Varro was also the author of a Cosmographia, or Chorographia, a geographical poem imitated from the Greek of Eratosthenes or of Alexander of Ephesus, surnamed Lychnus; and of an Ephemeris, a hexameter poem on weather-signs after Aratus, from which Virgil has borrowed.

 Varro Atacinus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
35 BC) was an early Roman poet, more polished than the more famous and learned Varro Reatinus, his contemporary, and more widely read by the Augustans, who apparently dared not mention the other Varro's name (Cruttwell 1877).
