Les débuts du trimètre tragique à Rome : I. Le fragment de l'Athamas d'Ennius

The beginning of the iambic trimeter at Rome. I. The fragment of the Athamas by Ennius. Charisius assigns to an Athamas by Ennius, a tragedy otherwise unknown, a fragment of five iambic trimeters in the Hellenic fashion, very surprising at the of the 2nd century B. C. The metrical and lexical analysis of the text suggest a lower date, somewhere closer to the first century B. C, at the time of Santra's Therefore it is doubtful that Ennius ever wrote an Athamas.
