Story of Aeneas It is no defence to urge that the ancients held different views on plagiarism, that Vergil and Ovid pilfered from their predecessors. Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal We, like Vergil, realize that Gallus invented a new genre in literature. Vergil A Biography Vergil's youthful enthusiasm for Rome, which had sprung from a critical reading of her past career, seemed fully justified; he began at once his Arma virumque. Vergil A Biography Though Vergil Gunch was silent, the others at the Roughnecks' Table came to accept Babbitt as having, for no visible reason, "turned crank." Babbitt It is said that Vergil wrote the AEneid at the request of the Emperor Augustus, whose family—the Ju'li-i—claimed the honor of being descended from AEneas, through his son I-u'lus or Ju'lus. Story of Aeneas The error lies not so much in veiling simple facts under an epigram, as in a vain attempt to imitate the 'golden phrases' of Vergil. Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal In such conditions we can realize that Gallus was, as a matter of course, interested in saving Mantua from confiscation, and that in this effort he may well have appealed to Octavian in Vergil's behalf. Vergil A Biography In point of fact, the tracking of poetic reminiscences in a poet who lived when no concealment of borrowed thought was demanded does as much violence to Vergil as it does to Euripides or Petrarch. Vergil A Biography Babbitt had difficulty in being lavish in return, for two tables away he saw Vergil Gunch. Babbitt It is remarkable that Vergil does not tell how Creusa came by her death. Story of Aeneas And too many of his incidents, in spite of ingenious variation of detail, are but echoes of Vergil. Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal Again, however, there is little reason for the supposition that Vergil's Eclogues in honor of Gallus have any reference whatever to this affair. Vergil A Biography The incident is not treated episodically as it might have been in Vergil's early work. Vergil A Biography Retiring President Vergil Gunch was in the chair, his stiff hair like a hedge, his voice like a brazen gong of festival. Babbitt Vergil gives a long list of the famous chiefs who assembled on this occasion. Story of Aeneas We weary at times of the echoes of Homer in Vergil, and the combats that stirred us in the Iliad make us drowsy in the Aeneid. Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal If the sixth Eclogue refers to Siro, as Servius holds, then Vergil and Gallus had long been literary associates before the first and ninth were written. Vergil A Biography It is apparent from his works that Vergil examined such material, just as he delved into Varro's antiquities and Cato's "origins" for ancient lore. Vergil A Biography The evening before, he had played poker at Vergil Gunch's till midnight, and after such holidays he was irritable before breakfast. Babbitt Vergil's description of this prophetic shield occupies the concluding portion of the eighth book of the AEneid. Story of Aeneas Vergil had come no nearer these things than 'in the pages of a book '. Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal The story of Vergil's tiff with a soldier, for example, is apparently an inference from Menalcas' experience in Eclogue IX. Vergil A Biography Vergil's hero Aeneas, is not a Latin but a Trojan. Vergil A Biography Though Babbitt admired this savant, and appreciated Sidney Finkelstein as "a mighty smart buyer and a good liberal spender," it was to Vergil Gunch that he turned with enthusiasm. Babbitt Vergil's description of the shield of AEneas is in imitation of Homer's beautiful description in the Iliad of the shield of Achilles, also made by Vulcan. Story of Aeneas Statius is yet one remove further from the truth than Vergil. Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal It is only the old habit of confusing Tityrus with Vergil which has obscured the meaning of the poem. Vergil A Biography With such a policy Vergil, schooled at Cremona, Milan, and Naples, could hardly fail to sympathize. Vergil A Biography With no Vergil Gunches before whom to set his face in resolute optimism, he beheld, and half admitted that he beheld, his way of life as incredibly mechanical. Babbitt Here ends the story of AEneas as related by Vergil. Story of Aeneas The metre, like that of Valerius Flaccus, draws its primary inspiration from Vergil, but has been strongly influenced by the Metamorphoses of Ovid. Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal To Vergil he seemed to be a link with the last great generation of the Republic. Vergil A Biography It has been inferred from the position of authority which Aeneas assumes that Vergil favored a strong monarchial form of government and intended Aeneas to be, as it were, a prototype of Augustus. Vergil A Biography However lax he might be about early rising and the prosody of Vergil, he was tireless in tinkering. Babbitt Vergil was, therefore, following a high authority in the case of Caesar, and was drawing the logical inference in the case of Octavian when he wrote the first Eclogue and the prooemium of the Georgics. Vergil A Biography In his management of pauses he is far more successful than any epic writer, with the exception of Vergil. Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal The eighth Eclogue claims to have been written at the invitation of Pollio, who had apparently learned thus early that Vergil was a poet worth encouraging. Vergil A Biography Vergil does not even place him at a post of special honor on the mount of revelations, but rather in the midst of a long line of remarkable principes. Vergil A Biography IV As Babbitt went out to his car that evening he saw Vergil Gunch coming down the block. Babbitt The vital difference between Vergil's treatment of the theme and Apollonius' may be traced to the difference between the Roman and the Greek family. Vergil A Biography His reader never derives from him the consciousness, that he so often derives from Vergil, of a 'deep beyond the deep, and a height beyond the height'. Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal Before Vergil's epic appeared it was Varius who was always considered the epic poet of the group. Vergil A Biography Vergil does not wholly escape the powerful conventions of his Greek predecessors: in his fourth book, for instance, there are suggestions of the melodramatic "maiden's lament" so dear to the music hall gallery of Alexandria. Vergil A Biography He not only defended Seneca Doane but even made fun of the Y. M. C. A, Vergil Gunch was rather brief in his answers. Babbitt This is, of course, not the same as saying that Vergil adopted the gods in imitation of Homer or that he needed Olympic machinery because he supposed it a necessary part of the epic technique. Vergil A Biography The practice of gathering a circle of acquaintances together to listen to the recitations of a poet is said first to have been instituted by Asinius Pollio, the patron of Vergil. Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal Of Plotius Tucca we know little except that he is called a poet, was a constant member of the circle, and with Varius the literary executor who published Vergil's works after his death. Vergil A Biography Surely Vergil was gifted with as much critical acumen as Lucan. Vergil A Biography Vergil Gunch says you don't care to, but I think we can show you a new light. Babbitt Indeed Vergil contributed something toward foisting these beliefs upon early Christianity, though they were no more essential to it than to Stoicism. Vergil A Biography Vergil had attempted to outdo the storms of the Odyssey. Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal Vergil's position as foremost of these poets was doubtless established by the publication of the Eclogues. Vergil A Biography In his knowledge of religious rites Vergil reveals an exactness that seems to point to very careful observances in his childhood home. Vergil A Biography Indeed criticism has dealt hard with Donatus' life of Vergil. Vergil A Biography These poems, written in Vergil's formative years before he had adopted the reserved manner of the classical style, are full of personal reminiscences. Vergil A Biography This failing is in part due to his desire to steer clear of the influence of Vergil and strike out on a line of his own. Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal His only hope lay in attracting the attention of some kindly disposed literary man, and for some reason he chose Vergil. Vergil A Biography The reason for attempting a new biography of Vergil at the present time is therefore obvious. Vergil A Biography Vergil has accordingly been referred, by some critic or other, to each of the several peoples that settled the Po Valley in ancient times: the Umbrians, the Etruscans, the Celts, the Latins. Vergil A Biography That could hardly have been Vergil's meaning, however; for the Celts who flooded the Po Valley four centuries before drove all before them except in the Venetian marshes and the Ligurian hills. Vergil A Biography Faint echoes of Vergil, it is true, occur frequently throughout the poem, but to the untrained eye Lucan is emphatically un-Vergilian. Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal But to trace these ideals in their contact with Vergil's mental development, we must look back for a moment to the tendencies of the Catullan age from which he was emerging. Vergil A Biography A Celtic strain of romance has been from time to time claimed for Vergil's poetry, though those who employ such terms seldom agree in their definition of them. Vergil A Biography There is, however, a strong likelihood that Vergil's forbears were among the Roman and Latin colonists who went north in search of new homes during the second century B.C. Vergil A Biography Vergil's father was certainly a Roman citizen, for none but a citizen could have sent his son to Rome to prepare for a political career. Vergil A Biography In the seven eclogues of Calpurnius may be found a larger assortment of vegetables, of agricultural implements and operations, than in the Bucolics of Vergil, but there is little poetry, pastoral or otherwise. Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal Vergil was one of the very few; he kept his candle lit at the shrine of Catullus still, but this was hardly to be expected of the rest. Vergil A Biography The probabilities are, therefore, that in any case Vergil, though born in the province, was of the old Latin stock. Vergil A Biography Donatus is also inclined to accept the tradition that Vergil's father was a potter and a man of very humble circumstances. Vergil A Biography Needless to say, Vergil's leisured competence during many years did not draw from such a trickling source. Vergil A Biography Though given a different setting it is clearly modelled on the fourth eclogue of Vergil. Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal We find Vergil, therefore, in a peculiar position. Vergil A Biography Donatus had forgotten that in Vergil's day the economic system of Rome was entirely different. Vergil A Biography The story of Probus, otherwise not very reliable, may, therefore, be true—that sixty soldiers received their allotments from the estates taken from Vergil's father. Vergil A Biography It would have been quite useless for Vergil to prepare for this career had it been obviously closed. Vergil A Biography The verse is of the usual post-Augustan type, showing strongly the primary influence of Vergil modified by the secondary influence of Ovid. Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal The new Academy was proud to claim him as a member, though it doubtless knew that Vergil was too great to be bound by rules. Vergil A Biography Presumably, therefore, Vergil's father belonged to a landholding family with some honors of municipal service to his credit. Vergil A Biography The clear expressive diction of Catullus' lyrics, full of old-fashioned turns, the sound social ideals of Vergil's Georgics, the buoyant idealism of the Aeneid and of Livy's annals speak the true language of these people. Vergil A Biography It is not surprising then that in Vergil's youth it is a group of fellow-provincials—returning sons of Rome's former emigrants—that take the lead in the new literary movements. Vergil A Biography Vergil was his master; it has been said with a little exaggeration that Valerius stands in the same relation to Vergil as Persius to Horace. Post-Augustan Poetry From Seneca to Juvenal The time came when Octavian, after Actium, reunited the Empire with a firm hand and justified the buoyant optimism which Vergil, almost alone of his generation, had been able to preserve. Vergil A Biography Vergil's remarkable catholicity of taste and his aversion to the cramping technique of the rhetorical course are probably to be explained in large measure, therefore, by his contact with the teachers of the provinces. Vergil A Biography How long Vergil remained at Milan we are not told; Donatus' paulo post is a relative term that might mean a few months or a few years. Vergil A Biography The brief biography of Vergil contained in the Berne MS.—a document of doubtful value—mentions Epidius as Vergil's teacher in rhetoric, and adds that Octavius, the future emperor, was a fellow pupil. Vergil A Biography Vergil could doubtless have afforded tuition under such a master since he presently engaged the no less distinguished Siro. Vergil A Biography During these few years Vergil seems to have written but little. Vergil A Biography And Epidius, the teacher of the flowery Mark Antony, may well be concealed in Vergil's list of names even if mention of him was omitted for reasons of propriety. Vergil A Biography The analytical rules of rhetoric were growing ever more intricate and time-wasting, and how pedantic they were even before Vergil's childhood may be seen by a glance into the anonymous Auctor ad Herennium. Vergil A Biography The crisis came in January of 49 B.C. when Vergil was twenty years old. Vergil A Biography Vergil also seems to have been drawn in this draft, since this is apparently the circumstance mentioned in his thirteenth Catalepton. Vergil A Biography We know, of course, from Horace's third ode that Vergil went to Greece. Vergil A Biography In any case, it is clear from all of Vergil's references to Caesar that the great general always retained a strong hold upon his imagination. Vergil A Biography The accounting they gave of themselves at that battle is evidence enough of the spirit which pervaded Vergil's fellow provincials. Vergil A Biography Nor is it unlikely that Vergil himself took part, for one of the most poignant passages in all his work is the picture of the dead who lay strewn over the battlefield of Pharsalia. Vergil A Biography It is also probable that Vergil had had some share in the cruises on the Adriatic conducted by Antony the summer and winter before Pharsalia. Vergil A Biography That Vergil ranged widely and deeply in philosophy and history, antiquities and all the world's best prose and poetry, the vast learning of the Georgics and the Aeneid abundantly proves. Vergil A Biography We know how frail Vergil's health was in later years. Vergil A Biography Vergil, it would seem from these lines, was given sick-leave and permitted to go back to his studies, though apparently taunted for not later returning to the army. Vergil A Biography Vergil, therefore, if he wrote this when Pompey fled to Greece in 49, or after the rout at Pharsalia, was only giving expression to a conviction generally held among Caesar's officers. Vergil A Biography Vergil's one experience as advocate in the court room should perhaps be placed after his retirement from the army. Vergil A Biography The choice of Vergil's subject coincided, therefore, with a need that all men appreciated. Vergil A Biography In the Aeneid there are several fluent orators, but they are never Vergil's congenial characters. Vergil A Biography Some insist that it is a forgery or supposititious work; others that it is a liberally padded re-working of Vergil's original. Vergil A Biography Only a few have accepted it as a very youthful failure of Vergil's, or as an attempt of the poet to parody the then popular romances. Vergil A Biography These are faults that Vergil later does not betray. Vergil A Biography Vergil's delight in nature is essentially Roman, though somewhat more self-conscious than that of his fellows. Vergil A Biography Nevertheless, Vergil seems to have written the poem. Vergil A Biography Its ascription to Vergil by so many authors of the early empire, as well as the concensus of the manuscripts, must be taken very seriously. Vergil A Biography Finally, when, as we shall see presently, Horace in his second Epode, accords Vergil the honor of imitating a passage of the Culex, Vergil returns the compliment in his Georgics. Vergil A Biography Vergil himself furnishes the clue for this interpretation of the Culex, but it has been overlooked because of the wretched condition of the text that we have. Vergil A Biography At first glance Vergil seems to care most for the obvious gifts of Italy's generous amenities, the physical pleasure in the free out-of-doors, the form and color of landscapes, the wholesome life. Vergil A Biography To analyze the art, however, would be to take the poem more seriously than Vergil intended it to be when he wrote currente calamo. Vergil A Biography The Ciris was not yet completed at the time when Vergil reached the momentous decision to go to Naples and study philosophy. Vergil A Biography In it Vergil begs pardon for sending a poem of so trivial a nature at a time when his one ambition is to describe worthily the philosophic system that he has adopted. Vergil A Biography In his use of caesuras Vergil in the Ciris resembles Catullus: both to a certain extent distrust the trochaic pause. Vergil A Biography Vergil's phrases are the poetic expression of the animism of the unsophisticated rustic which at an earlier age had shaped the great nature myths. Vergil A Biography These are but a few of the minor details that show Vergil in his youth a close reader of Catullus, and doubtless of Calvus, Cinna and Cornificius, who employed the same methods. Vergil A Biography The Ciris gave Vergil his first lesson in serious poetic composition, and no task could have been set of more immediate value for the training of Rome's epic poet. Vergil A Biography The new poetry, which had emerged from a society that was deeply interested in science, had taught Vergil to observe the details of nature with accuracy and an appreciation of their beauty. Vergil A Biography Vergil apparently never published the Ciris, for he re-used its lines, indeed whole blocks of its lines with a freedom that cannot be paralleled. Vergil A Biography Messalla, to whom the poem was dedicated, joined his lot with that of Mark Antony and Egypt after the battle of Philippi, and for Antony Vergil had no love. Vergil A Biography This fact provides a key to much of Vergil. Vergil A Biography |
