Parody in Plavtvs

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 February 2009

Extract

MissSteuart, in her recent edition of the Annals of Ennius, prints the notorious line, ‘O Tite, tute, Tati, tibi tanta tyranne tulisti,’ among the fragmenta spuria, and shows that the attribution of it to Ennius is late and uncertain. That it is old is shown by the fact that it is quoted in the Ad Herennium. Miss Steuart classes it among the ‘freak’ lines by which Hardie (without good reason) thought Lucilius (1100 Mx.) illustrated his hundred kinds of Solecism (Res Metrica, p. 4, note).
