MARSUS, DOMITIUS

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 784 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MARSUS, DOMITIUS , Latin poet, the friend of Virgil and
Tibullus
 , and contemporary of
Horace
 . He survived
Tibullus
  (d. 19 B.c.), but was no longer alive when Ovid wrote (c. A.D. 12) the epistle from Pontus (E Ponto, iv. 16) containing a
list
  of poets. He was the authoirof a collection of epigrams called Cicuta (" hemlock " )I from their
bitter
  sarcasm, and of a beautiful epitaph on the death of Tibullus; of elegiac poems, probably of an erotic
character
 ; of an epic poem Amazonis; and of a
prose
 
work
  on wit (De urbanitate). Martial often alludes to Marsus as one of his predecessors, but he is never mentioned by
Horace
 , although a passage in the Odes (iv. 4, 19) is supposed to be an indirect allusion to the Amazonis (M. Haupt, Opuscula, iii. 332).
See J. A. Weichert, Poetarum latinorum vitae et reliquiae (183o) ; R. Unger, De Dom. Marsi cicuta (
Friedland
 , 1861).
