Those who have been on this list for a few years will remember J.-Y. Maleuvre and his website http://www.virgilmurder.org. Maleuvre thinks, in case you didn't get the point of his web address, that Virgil was murdered by Augustus. I don't believe this for an instant, but we have remained on good terms nonetheless. Earlier this week, Maleuvre asked me to pass on the following notice, which I do very happily and also with a reminder for my students, in case any of you are reading: just because it's on the internet -- or in a book -- doesn't mean it's true.
Yours faithfully,
David Wilson-Okamura

Salve, David
I hope you are going well. You will be surprised (or perhaps not), but I am still working hard in order to reinforce my argumentation about Vergil�s tragic demise. A new piece of evidence is to be found this month in �Les Etudes Classiques�, and, si otium habes, you could visit the site <http://quintus.horatius.free.fr/>http://quintus.horatius.free.fr/ at �Etudes�, where a few pages of my (just finished) translation of Horace�s Odes are now on line.
Please, David, be kind to inform your list.
Sincerely yours.
Cura ut valeas.
Jean-Yves
