Anser
A poet of the Augustan Age, and long considered one of the enemies of Vergil; but of this
there is no good evidence, for the line in
Verg. Ecl.
ix. 35 is only traditionally referred to him. He was a writer of erotic poetry. See
Unger,
De Ansere Poeta (Neubrandenb. 1858), and Teuffel, vol. i.
p. 453
(Eng. trans. 1891).
