		Virgil fell ill on his way to Greece, where he intended to spend three years polishing his poem, and died in 19 B.C. in the eastern Italian port city known today as Brindisi.
		Part of the explanation for Virgil's modern decline is classicists' general preference for Greek sources over Latin--which began slowly in the Renaissance and gathered irresistible momentum through the sheer power of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century German scholarship.
		Similarly, the second half of the "Aeneid" is Virgil's "Iliad," recounting battles in Italy and connecting Roman history with the heroic age of the Trojan War.
