Anser
a friend of the triumvir M. Antonius, and one of the detractors of Virgil. Ovid calls him procax. (Verg. Ecl. 9.36; Serv. ad loc. et ad Ecl. 7.21; Prop. 2.25. 84; Ov. Tr. 2.435 ; Cic. Philipp. 13.5; Weichert, Poetar. Lat. Reliquiae, p. 160, &c., Lips. 1830.)
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).
