EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Quintus Ennius: The Father of Roman Poetry" Quintus Ennius (239-169 BC) is depicted in this engraving as a thoughtful and introspective figure, holding a quill pen and scroll, surrounded by symbols of his literary legacy. Born in Rudiae, a Greek colony in southern Italy, Ennius is considered the father of Roman poetry. He lived during the Roman Republic, a period marked by political turmoil and cultural transformation. The inscription below the image reads "Biograf de los hombres del reino de Núrsia, Ennio Quinto" (Biography of the Men of the Kingdom of Núrsia, Quintus Ennius), referencing one of his most famous works, "Annales," an epic poem that chronicled the history of Rome from its legendary founding to the present day. This vertical, upright, engraving, housed in the National Library of Madrid (Autonomous Community, Spain), showcases the sweet, bay history of this influential poet. Ennius' work was deeply influenced by Greek literature, particularly Homer and Virgil, but he is credited with bringing a distinctly Roman voice to poetry. His poetic corolla, or poetic collection, helped establish Latin literature as a major cultural force in Europe and among European peoples. The engraving's title, "Biograf," is a nod to the importance of biography and history in understanding the cultural context of Ennius' work. The image evokes a sense of reverence for the past, as well as a sense of continuity and connection to the rich literary traditions of Italy and Europe. Ennius' influence can be seen in the works of later Roman poets, such as Virgil and Horace, and in the broader development of European literature. His legacy continues to inspire scholars and writers today, as they explore the intersection of history, culture, and the human experience.
