"Ioannida" by the North African early Byzantine poet Flavius Cresconius Corippus (or Horippus, c. 510 – c. 580) is considered the last poetic epic of antiquity. Written in hexameters, the poem recounts the uprising of Berber tribes against the Byzantines in North Africa in the second half of the 540s, to which Corippus was a direct witness, and also recounts earlier events leading up to this conflict. The poem survives in Italy in a single manuscript (although at least three were known during the Renaissance). First published in 1820, it remains virtually unknown to Russian readers.
