Autorenporträt
Quintus Smyrnaeus, who is typically dated to the late 4th century AD, is thought to have been an ancient Greek epic poet. But not much is known about his life, and his identity is still a mystery. Calling him "Quintus of Smyrna" or "Quintus Smyrnaeus," scholars frequently link him to the ancient city of Smyrna, which is now the Turkish city of ¿zmir. The most famous book by Quintus Smyrnaeus is titled "Posthomerica" or "The Fall of Troy." This epic poem, which is divided into fourteen volumes, continues Homer's "Iliad" by narrating what happened after Hector was killed in the Trojan War. Quintus Smyrnaeus adds to the story by sharing his personal perspectives on the people and things that happen. Although nothing is known about the poet, his works bridge the gap between the epic tradition and later works by drawing on Homer's classical legacy, which gives them literary and historical relevance. Quintus Smyrnaeus made a significant contribution to the epic's continuation, and scholars have examined his "Posthomerica" for its original interpretation of the mythological events surrounding Troy's collapse.
