On the relationship between poet and patron, you might (if you haven't already) look at Peter White, Promised Verse. On the impact of the Aeneid on Augustan politics (a welcome change from our usual discussions of the impact of Augustan politics on the Aeneid), I think Karl Galinsky's comments on the parade of Roman worthies, the death of Turnus, and the Forum of Augustus are a good place to start; see Augustan Culture, 206, 210-12. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- David Wilson-Okamura http://www.virgil.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Chicago Online Virgil discussion, bibliography & links ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- To leave the Mantovano mailing list at any time, do NOT hit reply.
