 QUINTUS ENNIUS - LoveToKnow Article on QUINTUS ENNIUS
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.

 Quintus Ennius
The satire of Ennius seems to have resembled the more artistic satire of Horace in its record of personal experiences, in the occasional introduction of dialogue, in the use made of fables with a moral application, and in the didactic office which it assumed.
He was the first to impart to the Roman adaptations of Greek tragedy the masculine dignity, pathos and oratorical fervor which continued to animate them in the hands of Pacuvius and Accius, and, when set off by the acting of Aesopus, called forth vehement applause in the age of Cicero.
He as well as Cicero speaks of him with pride and affection as "Ennius noster." Of the great Roman writers Horace had least sympathy with him; yet he testifies to the high esteem in which he was held during the Augustan age.

Under his influence literature became less suited to the popular taste, more especially addressed to a limited and cultivated class, but at the same time more truly expressive of what was greatest and most worthy to endure in the national sentiment and traditions.
But the chief distinction of Ennius was gained in tragic and narrative poetry.
Several of the more important fragments are found in Cicero, who expresses a great admiration for their manly fortitude and dignified pathos.

Quintus Ennius, for instance, was a contemporary of Plautus and, like him, stood near the dawn of Roman drama.
Though Ennius also wrote comedies, none are preserved, nor do they seem to have been well respected—comparison to his coeval Plautus cannot have helped his reputation—thus as a dramatist he was best remembered for his tragedies, though his oeuvre was hardly restricted to stage works.
Ennius wrote all sorts of literature: satires, histories in prose and verse, and theological treatises.
