Suetonius, Caligula (34):

“He also thought about destroying the poems of Homer, asking why what had been granted to Plato might not be granted to him, namely, banishing him from society. But he was also not far from removing the writings and busts of Vergil and Livy from all libraries, railing against the one for having no talent and almost no learning, and inveighing against the other for being tediously prolix and negligent in historical research.”

Cogitavit etiam de Homeri carminibus abolendis, cur enim sibi non licere, dicens, quod Platoni licuisset, qui eum e civitate quam constituebat eiecerit? Sed et Vergili ac Titi Livi scripta et imagines paulum afuit quin ex omnibus bibliothecis amoveret, quorum alterum ut nullius ingenii minimaeque doctrinae, alterum ut verbosum in historia neglegentemque carpebat.
