1. Tragedies. —From the scanty fragments extant and from the titles ( Achilles , Aegis thus , and six others are known) we see that these were close imitations of Greek plays.

Gell, xviii. 9, 5, ‘Offendi... librum... Livi Andronici, qui in script us est Ody ea, in quo erat versus primus..., “Virúm mihí Caména | ínsecé versútum,” fact us ex illo Homeri versu, Ἄνδρα μοι ἔννεπε, Μοῦσα, πολύτροπον.’ Fragments 2 and 3, ‘Meá puer, quid vérbi | éx tuo óre súper a fugít? neque ením te oblítus | Lértié, sum, nóster,’ represent Od. i. 64, τέκνον ἐμὸν, ποῖόν σε ἔπος φύγεν ἕρκος ὀδόντων; πῶς ἂν ἔπειτ’ Ὀδυσῆος ἐγὼ θείοιο λαθοίμην;
