We've talked about how the Virgil misspelling arose, and a few weeks ago I
posted some speculation on why Poliziano failed to correct it. This is a

Poliziano was right and Vergilius is spelled with an e?

I am searching for artworks depicting that famous trinity of Aeneas carrying
Anchises with Ascanius (Iulus) in tow.
I know of Raphael's Fire in the Borgo, Barocci's Aeneas, Anchises, and
Ascanius Fleeing Troy, and Gian Lorenzo Bernini's Aeneas and Anchises.
Are there others? I'd like to know.

I wonder if the Mantovani would care to consider whether a phenomenon
which one might call in Latin poetry actually exists or not.
In the line Nocte volat caeli medio terraeque per umbram(Æneid
iv.184) we have a description of Fama flying through the night, halfway
between heaven earth.
Why not concentrate on the roles that the gods play?

You don't say whether you are a high school student or college student and
