I'd be interested if you could expand on what you mean by "a flawed character who is not a political leader but belongs in the ordinary world, like V's Aristaeus". I've found the political resonance of Aristaeus very interesting but ultimately very difficult. Do you think that Vergil is saying anything different about political leadership with Aristaeus than he does with Aeneas? How much do you think we can pursue the analogy Aristaeus=Augustus? Why the "ordinary world"... Aristaeus is the son of a god and the episode is steeped in mythology?
