How might roman writing have been different without the influence of Greek writers?

Without the influence of Greek writers, Roman writing would likely have been less sophisticated and diverse in form and content. Greek literature introduced various genres, such as drama, philosophy, and poetry, which inspired Roman authors like Virgil and Cicero to explore complex themes and styles. The absence of Greek influence might have led to a more utilitarian approach, focusing primarily on law and governance rather than the rich narrative and rhetorical traditions that characterized Roman literature. Overall, Roman writing would have been less enriched by the interplay of ideas and styles that Greek works provided.
