	VIRBIUS - LoveToKnow Article on VIRBIUS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Virbius was the oldest priest of Diana, the first king of the grove (Rex Neniorensis).
		Frazers latest view is that he is the old cult associate of Diana of Aricia (to whom he is related as Attis to Cybele or Adonis to Venus), the mythical predecessor or archetype of the kings of the grove.
		This grove was probably an oak grove, and the oak being sacred to Jupiter, the king of the grove (and consequently Virbius) was a local form of Jupiter.

		Legend had it that Virbius was the young Greek hero Hippolytus, chaste and fair, who learned the art of venery from the centaur Chiron, and spent all his days in the greenwood chasing wild beasts with the virgin huntress Artemis (the Greek counterpart of Diana) for his only comrade.
		He had a comely son, Virbius, who, undaunted by his father’s fate, drove a team of fiery steeds to join the Latins in the war against Aeneas and the Trojans.
		Virbius was worshipped as a god not only at Nemi but elsewhere; for in Campania we hear of a special priest devoted to his service.

	I. The King of the Wood
		In his character of the founder of the sacred grove and first king of Nemi, Virbius is clearly the mythical predecessor or archetype of the line of priests who served Diana under the title of Kings of the Wood, and who came, like him, one after the other, to a violent end.
		It is natural, therefore, to conjecture that they stood to the goddess of the grove in the same relation in which Virbius stood to her; in short, that the mortal King of the Wood had for his queen the woodland Diana herself.
		If the sacred tree which he guarded with his life was supposed, as seems probable, to be her special embodiment, her priest may not only have worshipped it as his goddess but embraced it as his wife.

		are now in a position to hazard a conjecture as to the meaning of the tradition that Virbius, the first of the divine Kings of the Wood at Aricia, had been killed in the character of Hippolytus by horses.
		The reason alleged for this was that the goat injured the olive, the sacred tree of Athena.
		So far, therefore, the relation of the goat to Athena is parallel to the relation of the horse to Virbius, both animals being excluded from the sanctuary on the ground of injury done by them to the god.

		Virbius instructed his men to hide quietly among the crates and haystacks in the old barn and designated the three friends he was with earlier as bait.
		Virbius was quite proud of himself when he spied her sneaking out of the tavern door.
		Virbius had come into that tavern with three mates and she didn't know where or when they were to likely to show up, just that she would, no doubt, run into them.

		Its title -- Jonson Virbius -- sets an example this new volume seeks to follow, despite New Critical and Post-Structuralist doubts about the centrality of the author to the functions of literature.
		Virbius was a minor mythological figure commonly identified by Renaissance mythographers as Hippolytus returned to life after being torn apart.
		In the 1638 volume, the 33 elegists and their editor, Bryan Duppa, evidently sought to repair the damage Jonson suffered from attacks during his long decline, when he could no longer defend himself as ferociously as in his ambitious youth.

		This could be something Vergil translates literally with Virbius (unlikely?) or something that has some similar features for which Vergil tries to compensate in Latin.
		The repetition of the name Virbius at the start and finish of the story makes the name almost frame the lines, and verso.
		I don't think he could have derived the name Virbius from bis vir; did he use the Greek word "bios", "life" somehow, to refer to Hippolytus' "living again"; note in the Ibis scholia the words vitae bis reparatur.

		The scene, suffused with the golden glow of imagination in which the divine mind of Turner steeped and transfigured even the fairest natural landscape, is a dream-like vision of the little woodland lake of Nemi-- "Diana's Mirror," as it was called by the ancients.
		Artemis and Hippolytus I HAVE said that the Arician legends of Orestes and Hippolytus, though worthless as history, have a certain value in so far as they may help us to understand the worship at Nemi better by comparing it with the ritual and myths of other sanctuaries.
		Recapitulation WE can now perhaps understand why the ancients identified Hippolytus, the consort of Artemis, with Virbius, who, according to Servius, stood to Diana as Adonis to Venus, or Attis to the Mother of the Gods.

		To please his patroness Diana (so went the story), Aesculapius brought him back to life, but Zeus was so wroth with the bold leach that he condemned him to Hades, whilst Diana surreptitiously bore her favourite to this sequestered spot.

		Now, too, we can conjecture why Virbius at Nemi came to be confounded with the sun.
		If Virbius was, as I have tried to show, a tree-spirit, he must have been the spirit of the oak on which grew the Golden Bough; for tradition represented him as the first of the Kings of the Wood.
		As an oak-spirit he must have been supposed periodically to rekindle the sun’s fire, and might therefore easily be confounded with the sun itself.
