Julius the Epic Poet is a Greek author of the Roman Imperial period, likely active between the 1st and 3rd centuries CE. He is known solely from a brief entry in the Byzantine encyclopedia Suda, which identifies him as an epic poet. The Suda notes he wrote a poem on the capture of Troy alongside other, now lost, works. No further biographical details survive.
His only extant work is the Iliou Halosis, or The Sack of Troy, a 691-line hexameter poem composed in the Homeric dialect. The poem narrates the final events of the Trojan War, including the construction of the wooden horse and the city's destruction.
Julius is significant as the author of a late Imperial epic, illustrating the enduring practice of Homeric imitation and the pedagogical repackaging of myth in Greek literary culture under Roman rule. His poem is a key artifact for understanding the transmission and reception of the Trojan War cycle during this period.
