Updated: August 29, 2026

"Argutos inter strepere Anser olores," was ANSER. He was a partisan of Antony, and from this fact, together with the possible allusion in the Eclogues, later grammarians discovered that he was, like Bavius and Maevius, unhappy bards only known from the contemptuous allusions of their betters, an obtrectator Virgilii. As such he of course called down the vials of their wrath.
