Please help. I am to give a lecture on Anthrax this week. In doing my
research, I discovered that Virgil had referenced this disease in his works.
I would love someone to point out the passage, or provide me with a
translation of the passage for use in my lecture.
Thank you for your help,
Leigh
It is indeed true that the story follows from the view of V's personality
that both we and the ancient biographers attribute to V: if he was that kind
of person and if the poem was not 'essentially complete' (Mackail's phrase,
I think) he would have wanted it destroyed. My doubts arise from the
message forwarded by listowner, David Wilson-Okamura

More: apparently the idea that Vergil was talking about anthrax appears
in the first paragraph of a lot of articles about anthrax

Interesting that Plautus 'aulularia' has a character, one of the
disreputable cooks hired for the wedding banquet, whose name is Anthrax.

Probably so named because of his lack of cooking skills since anthrax means
charcoal in Greek.
