Extractions: (Redirected from Quintus of Smyrna Jump to: navigation search Quintus Smyrnaeus (or Quintus of Smyrna Greek ) was a Greek epic poet whose Posthomerica , following "after Homer" continues the narration of the Trojan War The dates of Smyrnaeus's life are controversial, but they are traditionally placed in the latter part of the fourth century. "His date is approximately settled by two passages in the poem, viz. vi. 531 sqq., in which occurs an illustration drawn from the man-and-beast fights of the amphitheatre , which were suppressed by Theodosius I . (379-395 A.D.); and xiii. 335 sqq., which contains a prophecy, the special particularity of which, it is maintained by Koechly, limits its applicability to the middle of the fourth century A.D." Some scholars suggest an earlier date in the or even the 2nd century , arguing that his Posthomerica shows an influence from the " Second Sophistic ", the school of Greek orators who flourished in the first and second centuries. According to his own account (xii. 310), he began composing poetry in his early youth while tending sheep near Smyrna (present-day İzmir His epic in fourteen books, known as the
