Grattius, Roman poet, of the age of Augustus, was the author of a Cynegetica, a poem on hunting, of which 541 hexameter lines remain. He describes various kinds of game, methods of hunting, and the best breeds of horses and dogs. He may have been a native of Falerii but this assertion rests on the doubtful authority of a single lost manuscript, employed in an early printing. The only reference to him in any extant ancient writer is a passing reference in Ovid, Ex Ponto, (iv.16.33).

  • Grattius, Roman poet, of the age of Augustus, was the author of a Cynegetica, a poem on hunting, of which 541 hexameter lines remain. He describes various kinds of game, methods of hunting, and the best breeds of horses and dogs. He may have been a native of Falerii but this assertion rests on the doubtful authority of a single lost manuscript, employed in an early printing. The only reference to him in any extant ancient writer is a passing reference in Ovid, Ex Ponto, (iv.16.33). Encyclopaedia Britannica 1911 noted editions by R. Stern (1832); E. Behrens in Poetae Latini Minores (vol. i, 1879) and G. G. Curcio in Poeti Latini Minori (vol. i, 1902); and G. G. Curcio in Poeti Latini Minori (1902), and H. Schenkl, Zur Kritik des Grattius. (1898). There is an English translation by Christopher Wase, Grati Falisci Cynegeticon; Or, a Poem of Hunting, by Gratius the Faliscian (London, 1654); it has English and Latin texts on facing pages.
  • Grattius (ou dans une forme moins correcte Gratius) fut un poète latin à l'époque d'Auguste.
  • Grattius (Kr. u. I. század), római költő. Életéről alig tudunk valamit, Ovidius említi nevét a neves költők felsorolásában. „Cynegetica" (Vadászat) című tankölteményéből 541 sor fennmaradt, ebben a vadászatra való előkészületet, majd legrészletesebben a vadászkutyákat tárgyalja. Feltehetőleg hellenisztikus mintát követett, hatással volt Nemesianus hasonló témájú műveire.
  • Scrisse il Cynegeticon, un trattato sulla cinegetica (arte della caccia con i cani) in 540 versi, la cui prima edizione a stampa si ebbe a Bologna nel 1504 e che fu spesso pubblicato insieme alle opere di Tito Calpurnio Siculo e di Nemesiano. Gli venne attribuito nel XVII secolo anche un poema in greco (Halieuticon) che invece la testimonianza di Plinio attribuisce con certezza ad Ovidio.
