T. R. GLOVER GIVES QUINTUS A CHAPTER in his Life and Letters in the Fourth Century. It begins with a sort of perverse priamel: Not the least remarkable figure in the history of Greek literature is of Smyrna. Not that he is in any great sense of the word a poet; not that he has any special gifts of insight and interpretation, of narrative or style; but that such a work as his should be produced at such a time must ever remain a marvel.' It ends: Our study has been long and tiresome, and what is the conclusion? (100). Glover concludes that Quintus tells us of the weariness and exhaustion of his age which could admire but not create.
