- ... that the Blemyomachia is an epic poem describing a historical clash between the Roman Empire and the Blemmyes in the Nile valley? Source: Eide & Török 1998: "an historical epic poem" and "As is indicated by the Nilotic scenery in line 9 of the poem, the Roman victory described here in a fine poetical style seems to have occurred before the expulsion of the Blemmyes from the Nile".

New article, long enough. No apparent neutrality issues, all content is sourced with inline citations to reliable sources (offline/non-English sources accepted in good faith), Earwig does not return any copyvios. The hook is short enough, interesting and sourced with an inline citation. No image in the article, QPQ is done. Thanks User:Srnec. ITBF (talk) 06:40, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
