Gnaeus Naevius - LoveToKnow 1911 (1116 words) |
 | 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. |

| 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. |

| Vanuit Naevius’ patriottisch perspectief is dat een volkomen legitieme en goede zaak. |
| Toch doet zo’n negatief oordeel geen recht aan Naevius. |
