	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Byzantine Literature
		In Byzantine literature, therefore, four different cultural elements are to be reckoned with: the Greek, the Christian, the Roman, and the Oriental.
		Literature was, therefore, wholly a concern of the high official and priestly classes; it was aristocratic or theological, not representative of the interests of the citizens.
		In literature, and as a historian, however, he still has one foot on the soil of antiquity, as is evident in the precision and lucidity of his narrative acquired from Thucydides, and in the reliability of his information, qualities of special merit in the historian.

	Latin Literature - History for Kids!
		The Roman Empire lasted for more than a thousand years, so there was plenty of time to produce a lot of writing.
		Latin, an Indo-European language, was written in an alphabet derived from the Greek alphabet, with some letters changed: the Latin or Roman alphabet is essentially the one Americans use today.
		Nearly all of the Latin literature that we still have today survives because it was copied over and over by hand by different people through hundreds of years.

		Thus the two literatures wield alternate influence; the one on the side of liberty, the other on the side of government; the one as urging restless movement towards the ideal, the other as counselling steady acceptance of the real.
		At this point literature commences, and a long succession of authors from Plautus onwards carry the history of the language to its completion; but it should be remembered that few of these authors wrote in what was really the speech of the people.
		But it must have struck at the root of all Roman traditions to represent the aged father in any but a venerable light; and inimitable as Plautus is as a humourist, we cannot regard him as one who either elevates his own art, or in any way represents the nobler aspect of the Roman mind.

	SPANISH LITERATURE
		This was converted into a Roman province at the end of the 3rd century BC.
		Apart from during the Franco years (1939-1975) Spanish literature was written in these four languages, although the most representative has always been Castilian.
		To conclude, it is important to stress that Hispanic literature is simply a branch of Roman literature, that is to say, of Latin derivative languages.

		The Romans had long been familiar with Greek myth and something of Greek religion due to their relations with the cities of Magna Graecia and, in particular, the Etruscans.
		Virtually all of the literature that survives from this period, however, (with the exception of a work on agriculture written by Cato) are the plays of Plautus and Terence, whose comedies present loose adaptations of original works by Athenian playwrights of the 4th/3rd century.
		The Roman nobility viewed such spectacles as a way of placating the mob: the ludi lacked the dignity and gravity for which they themselves strove, but they did provide a useful means for those nobiles with political ambitions to curry the mob's favor.

	Ennius and the Invention of Roman Epic
		This panel aims to reassess Ennius in his roles as pater of Roman poetry and writer of annals in light of renewed interest in problems relating to the rather sudden appearance of literature at Rome in the third and second centuries BC.
		Habinek in The Politics of Latin Literature connects the development of literature as a political medium to the emergence of new social structures, especially the competition between sectors of the Roman aristocracy each seeking to advance its interests over and against other sources of social and political authority.
		Moving away from the rather mechanical view of the creation of Roman literature as a simple matter of adoption of Greek models, we aim to analyze the Annales as a key text for understanding transformations in cultural practices in Roman society at a time when Roman aristocrats battled over ownership and interpretation of their history.

		Through the study of ancient Roman texts in translation, this course explores the life of women in ancient Rome and the way their experience is reflected in five hundred years of Latin literature.
		This course will try to convey a better idea of what life was like for a woman in Roman antiquity by looking not only at literary but also at technical and epigraphical sources.
		Along the way, we will study male Roman stereotypes of women and the conventions of several literary genres, which will allow us to interpret the sources within their generic and historical context instead of taking their data at face-value.

	Ancient (from Latin literature) -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		Ancient Latin literature may be divided into four periods: early writers, to 70 BC; Golden Age, 70 BC–AD 18; Silver Age, AD 18–133; and later writers.
		When Rome fell, Latin remained the literary language of the Western medieval world until it was superseded by the Romance languages it had generated and by other modern languages.
		Thus literature became deeply rooted in the history of the countries of Latin America.

		Personally, I was extremely sceptical of some of Ahl's assertions, and it is very hard to imagine that the Romans really created puns when one word had a short vowel and the other a long vowel.
