		Vergil's locating Camilla at the end of the catalogue parallels the placement of aliens and women in other catalogues to suggest inferiority of one group to another, and thus hints at doom to come.
		Vergil supplies this for us: Camilla's onlookers marvel and gape at her, they wonder and are amazed, they recognize her as different.
		Vergil entered the text previously to offer a condemnation of Turnus greed for Pallas' belt (10.502) and Euryalus (9.365 and 9.373), and 'prospectively, Camilla is also condemned' and 'the poet enters the text to condemn her'.

		When Vergil was 20, Caesar with his armies swooped south from Gaul, crossed the Rubicon, and began the series of civil wars that were not to end until Augustus' victory at Actium in 31 B.C.E. Hatred and fear of civil war is powerfully expressed by both Vergil and his contemporary Horace.
		Vergil, like many of his contemporaries, felt a great sense of relief that the senseless civil strife was at last over and was deeply grateful to the man who had made it possible.
		The enthusiasm that Vergil felt for the reborn Rome promised by Augustus' regime is often reflected in the poem.

	Virgil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Publius Vergilius Maro (October 15, 70 BC–19 BC), known in English as Virgil or Vergil, is a Latin poet, the author of the Eclogues, the Georgics and the Aeneid, the last being an epic poem of twelve books that became the Roman Empire's national epic.
		Virgil was born in the village of Andes, near Mantua in Cisalpine Gaul (Gaul south of the Alps; present-day northern Italy).
		In the 19th century, some German-trained classicists in the United States suggested modification to "Vergil," as it is closer to his original name, and is also the traditional German spelling.

	Vergil and the Aeneid
		Vergil spent his childhood on his father's farm and was educated at Cremona, Milan, and then Rome, where he studied rhetoric.
		Vergil succeeded in unifying around the figure of Aeneas the theme of Homer's Odyssey (the search for a new home) in the first six books and that of the Iliad (the war and final reconciliation of the Trojans and the Latins) in the last six books, with multiple correspondences between the two halves.
		Vergil's greatness was recognized in his own lifetime, soon after which the Aeneid was made a standard school text.

	VERGIL: The Secret Life
		Vergil is shown to us, as to urban Romans of the time, as a good example of a country reared boy, but he is in good company in the spectrum of Roman literary history, since most prominent Latin authors came from outside Rome, many from outside Italy.
		Vergil is supposed to have written many verses in the earlier part of the day, reducing them to a mere handful in the afternoon, thus proving his care and consummate attention to craft.
		Vergil was from the rural north, Donatus had mentioned before that he had a countrified expression (facies), and that his speech was very slow and "almost like an illiterate".

		Vergil celebrated the birthday of his official manhood on the very day that Lucretius died, he was an avid peruser of Lucretius' work, and had planned after completion of the Aeneid to devote the rest of his life to the study of philosophy.
		And it is a special development of Vergil's art to somehow be able to say one thing, yet by the tone and form of the words, imply the opposite, and thus write the realer meaning somewhere amongst the words and in-between the lines.
		Part of the unending fascination which surrounds the name of Vergil, is that we still can not be sure of the meaning of many of the scenes he portrayed, and may be much less sure of much of what he really meant in the private corner of his very complicated mind.

	Book Reviews: Vergil in Averno
		Vergil was revered throughout the Dark Ages as the greatest poet of the ancient world, a pious allegorist and foreteller of the birth of Christ.
		Averno (in actual fact a crater lake 10 miles from Naples, which the poet Vergil once described as an entrance to the underworld) is an infernal city of forges and smoke, sulpherous, noxious, and inimical to everything except commerce.
		Vergil's dealings with the magnates of the Very Rich City, his attempts to discover the nature of the Father Fire that smolders beneath Averno, is story-telling of a high order, as suspenseful and intricate as any fantasy novel published in the post-Tolkien vogue of the last 15 years.

	Table of Contents and Excerpt, Armstrong et al., Vergil, Philodemus, and the Augustans
		In June 2000, the First International Symposium on Philodemus, Vergil, and the Augustans was held at the Villa Vergiliana in Cuma, Italy, a short distance from the site of the discovery at Herculaneum, from October 1752 to August 1754, of a large collection of papyrus rolls containing the lost works of Philodemus of Gadara.
		Vergil's hero is the incarnation of self-sacrifice to the purposes of history.
		Obbink then goes on to a discussion of Philodemus', Apollodorus', Vergil's, and Ovid's interest in catalogues of the gods' destructive passions, especially in the case of their love affairs, as proof that mythology is not so much truth as allegory or poetic ornament.

	bolchazy.com: Latin — Why Vergil?: A Collection of Interpretations
		Vergil's gift to our times, as to others, is to teach us a way to see a world in turmoil, to hold many visions of it simultaneously, excruciatingly, all in absolute conflict with each other, and all of them true.
		Vergil is also one of the most temporally grounded of writers: his poem is an artifact of the Augustan age and without it, we could not understand that period even to the extent we do.
		In her Conclusion: "Why Vergil", Quinn makes her case explicitly and leads us to a way of reading Vergil that is intimately engaged with the concerns of the late twentieth century.

	Study Guide for Vergil's Aeneid
		Vergil, a highly learned poet, draws on the full range of mythological and literary traditions to represent this process.
		Vergil's depiction of Aeneas' mission as incompatible with personal happiness for him and personal happiness (and perhaps life) for Dido implies criticism of the values of Augustan Rome.
		Vergil does not depict the departure of Aeneas as a choice; rather he depicts a world where misunderstanding, confusion, and betrayal are unavoidable.

		The selections are less obviously focussed on Q.'s theme of "Why Vergil?" -- the focus is softer and while we get a series of impressions of Vergil's influence on other writers throughout Western literary culture and his own appropriation of the literary tradition he inherited, we seldom see this relationship established.
		The excerpting, although it leaves us with more than a simple, "Vergil influences Milton", by no means says enough for us to come to any developed sense of what that influence consisted of or what its importance is. For that part of the section, the selections should have been much fuller, or left out.
		In her Conclusion: "Why Vergil", Q. makes her case explicitly and leads us to a way of reading Vergil that is intimately engaged with the concerns of the late Twentieth Century.

	The Claremont Institute: Politics And Piety
		Vergil's Jupiter exerts his providence on behalf of law, whereas the aboriginal Italians believe they live under the care of Saturn and owe their virtue not to law but to their own spontaneous sense of justice.
		Adler's understanding of the meaning Vergil attributes to Aeneas' treaty seems right even if actual Roman practice was quite contrary to that with which she credits Rome's legendary founder: Vergil envisions an ideal that may remain as a standard even if Romans had not adhered to it.
		Adler seems to favor the second, more radical alternative: Vergil, she claims, was persuaded that we "live in a godless world." Yet in the episode under consideration—in Anchises' account of an impersonal world spirit evidently more authoritative in Vergil's estimation than the divinities he has dramatized—Vergil offers a philosophically respectable corrective of received theology.
