Daretis Phrygii Poëtarum & historicorum omnium primi De Bello Troiano, libri sex A Cornelio Nepote Latino carmine donati. - Phrygius, Dares 5th century; Nepos, Cornelius c. 110 BC-c. 25 BC (Antwerp Trognæsius, 1608)
Under the pseudonym Dares Phrygius (a Trojan priest of Hephaestus), a Latin novel on the Trojan War entitled Acta diurna belli Troiani was published in the 5th century. This apparently goes back to a lost Greek original and represents a counter-draft to the work of Dictys Cretensis (4th century) , which treats the same material from a Greek perspective.
