Quintus Smyrnaeus

315 CE375 CE

Quintus Smyrnaeus (active 3rd or 4th century CE) was a Greek epic poet best known for the Posthomerica, a poem in the Homeric style that narrates the events of the Trojan War in the interval between the end of Homer's Iliad and the beginning of the Odyssey. His work continues the epic tradition centuries after Homer, drawing on earlier legends to fill the narrative gap.
