  • Fasti — Ovid • AD 8

  • The Cypria — Stasinus or Hegesias • 1500 BC
    The Cypria is essentially the lost prequel to Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. It was not— by any ancient accounts— written by him. It was lost, but scholars, using fragments and summaries in other ancient sources, reconstructed its narrative (though not, obviously, its exact verbage).
  • The Aeneid — Virgil • 29 BC
