| Philologist and poet Johann Heinrich Voss (1751-1826) wrote idyllic scenes of civil life, partly in Low German dialect. His major achievements are translations or free renderings of Greek and Roman authors like Homer, Ovid, Virgil and Horace, thereby opening up a new relation with the ancients for his contemporaries. |
