Fabula crepidata
A fabula crepidata is a Latin tragedy with Greek subjects, probably originating as adaptations of Greek tragedy and in existence since the early third century B.C.. Only nine have survived intact, all Senecan tragedy. Of the plays written by Lucius Livius Andronicus, Gnaeus Naevius, Quintus Ennius, Marcus Pacuvius, Lucius Accius, amongst others, only titles, small fragments, and occasionally brief summaries are all that is left. Ovid's Medea didn't survive either.
