Encyclopedia Britannica



GALLUS, CORNELIUS (c. 70-26 B.C.)

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 426 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GALLUS, CORNELIUS (c. 70-26 B.C.) , Roman poet, orator and politician, was born of humble parents at Forum Julii (Frejus) in Gaul.. At an early age he removed to Rome, where he was taught by the same master, as Virgil and Varius Rufus. Virgil, who dedicated one of his eclogues (x.) to him, was in
great
  measure indebted to the
influence
  of Gallus for the restoration of his estate. In political
life
  Gallus espoused the cause of Octavianus, and as a reward for his services was made praefect of
Egypt
  (Suetonius,
Augustus
 , 66). His conduct in this position after-wards brought him into disgrace with the emperor, and having been deprived of his estates and sentenced to banishment, he put an end to his
life
  (Dio
Cassius
  liii. 23). Gallus enjoyed a high reputation among his contemporaries as a man of intellect, and
Ovid
  (Tristia, iv. so) considered him the first of the elegiac poets of Rome. He wrote four books of elegies chiefly on his mistress Lycoris (a poetical name for Cytheris, a notorious actress), in which he took for his model Euphorion of Chalcis (q.v.); he also translated some of this author's works into Latin. Nothing by him has survived; the fragments of the four poems attributed to him (first published by Aldus Manutius in 1590 and printed in A. Riese's Anthologia
Latina
 , 1869) are generally
regarded as a forgery.
See C. Volker, De C. Galli vita et scriptis (1840-1844) ; A. Nicolas, De la vie et des ouvrages de C. Gallus (1851), an exhaustive monograph. An inscription found at Philae (published 1896) records the Egyptian exploits; see M. Schanz, Geschichte der rOmischen Litteratur, and Plessis, Poesie latine (1909).
