But Having Defeated Nero In A Poetry Contest He Was Interdicted From Further Recitals Or Publication, So That Three Books Of His Epic The Civil War Were Probably Not Issued In 61 When They Were Finished. By 65 He Was Composing The Tenth Book But Then Became Involved In The Unsuccessful Plot Of Piso Against Nero And, Aged Only Twentysix, By Order Took His Own Life.Quintilian Called Lucan A Poet Full Of Fire And Energy And A Master Of Brilliant Phrases.
