Abronius Silo
Template:Short description Abronius Silo (fl. 1st century BC) was a Latin poet who lived in the latter part of the Augustan age. Silo is mentioned in the suasoriae of Seneca the Elder. Seneca wrote that he was a pupil of the rhetorician Marcus Porcius Latro. According to Seneca, he plagiarized a poem about the Illiad from his Latro.[1][2] The plagiarized line read:[3]
