LÆVIUS, a Latin poet. It is not well known when he lived, but probably he was more ancient than Cicero. He made a poem intitled Erotopagnia, i. e. love games. Aulus Gellius quotes two lines of it. Apuleius also quotes six lines from the same poet; but he does not tell from what work he borrowed them. Lævius had also composed a poem intitled The Centaurs, which Festus quotes under the title of Petrarum.
