Features: The Greeks are a commendable nation, with keen and refined senses, so they can immediately detect anything excessive or unreasonable. One of their beloved maxims is: "Do not do too much." Roman literature is based on Greek literature, which is beyond doubt. The Greek "heroic poetry" and drama were the original forms imitated by Roman literature. Although some may call Roman literature "artificial," it still adheres to a universal literary principle: all literature first begins with poetry, followed by prose. — Wang Li
