Excerpt from The Phormio of Terence

Rightly to appreciate the literacy position of Terence, we must remember that he wrote at a period when Rome was beginning to feel the inspiring influence which Greece could exercise even in her decay. The second Punic war, the most momentous struggle in which Rome was ever engaged, had ended before Terence was born. In the comparative lull Which succeeded, the voice of culture, speaking to a people of curiously unimaginative minds, found opportunity of making itself heard. Greece began to lead her captivity captive and to teach her unlettered conqueror a wisdom to which his own unaided genius would have left him a stranger: for the Romans, with but rare exceptions, did not possess, did not indeed claim, any originality or creative power in the field of literature. Until 240 B.C., when Livius Andronicus issued his first play, the page of Italian composition is almost a blank; and when the breath of literary inspiration at last stirred the massive practical soul of the Roman, it blew upon him from that quarter of Italy Where Greek thought and Greek life had found a home.
