livius andronicus

(A+) He was the emperor of Rome, following the death of Augustus.

It is thought that Livius Andronicus was a Greek slave who was taken to Rome from the Greek city of Tarentum in southern Italy. He was an educator who translated Homer's Odyssey and other Greek works to teach in the school he set up. He wrote tragedies and comedies for the stage which were the first works of Latin literature.and was considered to be the originator of Latin literature. He wrote the first play with a full plot in Latin. He wrote themes based on Greek myths and comedies in the New Comedy style of Greece.

It began in 240 BC when a Roman audience saw a Latin version of a Greek play. The play was adapted by Livius Andronicus, who earlier had been a prisoner of war in 272 BC
