The epic poetry in the broader sense, by which is meant all the poetry written in the dactylic hexameter, is the mainstream throughout the Classic literature, both in Greek and Latin. However the poems in the late antiquities are not widely read nor necessarily investigated. This project is a survey of these poems with a historical perspective.We are accustomed to classify the epic poems into three genres : the epic in the narrower sense like Iliad or Aeneid, the didactic poetry like Work and Days, and the bucolics. This classification goes back to a comment of Servius. It is basically reasonable, but at the same time should be carefully treated. Whether the classical poets themselves were conscious of the classification and, if so, to what extent, must be asked afresh.The didactic poetry is the most difficult genre to appreciate of the three classes. It does not seem to have the rigid principle about how to construct the whole poem, and even worse, it does not seem to intend to teach something seriously in spite of its pretension. The Phenomena of Aratus is crucial for the development of the didactic poetry afterwards. Some characteristics of Hesiod, for example, catalogs or maxims, are intentionally modified by Aratus. All the followers, Nicander, Virgil, Lucretius and Manilius, are under influence of him, positively or negatively. The same is true about the epic (in the narrower sense) poems too, like Lucan.All the hexametric lines are calculated in number, and some minor works are described for the first time in Japanese in this report.

从更广泛的意义上说，史诗是指所有用长短格六步诗写的诗歌，是希腊和拉丁语古典文学的主流。然而，古代晚期的诗歌并没有被广泛阅读，也没有必要被研究。这个项目是从历史的角度对这些诗歌进行调查。我们习惯于将史诗分为三种类型：狭义的史诗，如《伊利亚特》或《埃涅伊德》；说教类诗歌，如《工作与日子》；以及田园诗。这种分类可以追溯到塞尔维乌斯的评论。这基本是合理的，但同时也要慎重对待。古典诗人自己是否意识到这种分类，如果意识到，在多大程度上，必须重新提出问题。说教诗是三种诗歌中最难欣赏的一种。它似乎没有关于如何构建整首诗的严格原则，更糟糕的是，它似乎不打算教一些严肃的东西，尽管它自命堂皇。《阿拉图斯现象》对后世训导诗的发展起着至关重要的作用。赫西奥德的一些特征，例如，目录或格言，被阿拉图斯有意修改。所有的追随者，尼坎德，维吉尔，卢克莱修和曼尼留斯，都受到他的影响，或积极或消极。史诗（狭义上的）也是如此，比如卢坎诗。所有的六边形线都是用数字计算的，一些次要的工程在本报告中首次用日文描述。
