  • The Pig War (original Latin title: Pugna Porcorum) is a Latin poem written by John Placentius, a Flemish Dominican monk, under the pseudonym Publius Porcius. The text was first printed in Antwerp in 1530. The poem consists of 248 dactylic hexameters, every single word of them beginning with the letter p. As such, the poem is a tautogram. The poem is a satirical epic telling of an intergenerational conflict between the corrupt hogs (porci in Latin), who are hogging all the privileges, and the piglets (porcelli), who want in on them. Their conflict devolves into open war, and the poet uses pigs to allegorize human corruption, conflict, and revolutionary violence in a simple and transparent way.
