At the start of "Latin Literature," the author contextualizes the emergence of a genuine Latin literary tradition, noting that its development was initially influenced by Greek literature. It outlines early contributions from figures like Livius Andronicus and Naevius, who began shaping Roman dramatic and epic poetry during the Republican era.
