Description
Besides his Commentaries, bane of so many young scholars, the Divine Julius wrote, as a youth, a tragedy on Oedipus and a long poem praising Hercules. Pompeius Macer, Augustus’ librarian, proposed to the emperor that these works be published in Julius’ honor. He was forbidden even to think about it.
Juvenalia similis seniliis nec delenda neque legenda.
Juvenilia, like senilia, should not be destroyed, but neither should it be read.
- Rufus Bubile
