| Diomedes Grammaticus |
|
A Latin grammarian (circa 300 CE) who wrote a treatise on grammar called Ars grammatica (aka De Oratione et Partibus Orationis et Vario Genere Metrorum libri III). The work consists of three books: (1) Book I discusses the parts of speech; (2) Book II, grammar and style; and (3) Book III discusses poetry and meter. Note: Some claim that this book contains the most complete list of the types of dactylic hexameters that were used in antiquity. |
