Extractions: V irgil (Publius Vergilius Maro, 70-19 B.C.) remains one of the most influential Roman authors throughout history and his texts have exhibited profound effects upon writers throughout the years. He was recognized even by his own contemporaries as an exemplary poet and a model for others. He employed a vast knowledge of ancient legends and associations throughout his texts resulting in his reputation as a "learned" poet. Unlike other poets of his time, Virgil's freshness and wit never diminishes over his career and he retains a delicate subtlety of expressions throughout his works. H is qualities of tenderness, humanity and deep religious sentiment caused him to be regarded as the herald of Christianity throughout the middle ages. This ensured a wide transmission of his works and caused Dante to choose him as the guide in his master work The Divine Comedy . Later, in the modern era, his works became required reading in scholastic curricula and his texts became vehicles for education in Latin grammar. D uring the last ten years of his life, Virgil worked on

Extractions: Publius Vergilius Maro, generally known as Virgil, was born at Andes, near Mantua in 70 B.C. and became the greatest and most influential of all the Roman poets. His life story, taken particularly by English Renaissance poets as a poetic ideal in itself, is largely passed down to us by Donatus. Virgil's father seems to have been either a farmer or a potter, while his mother was called Magia Polla. He learnt rhetoric, philosophy and other subjects in Rome and was taught by, among others, the Epicurean philosopher Siron who would later house him after land confiscations in 41 B.C. that lost him the farm where he had composed his first works, the Eclogues (37 B.C.), in 43 B.C.

Extractions: Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro, 70-19 BC). Virgil's Æneis Translated into Scottish Verse by the Famous Gawin Douglas ...A new edition, : wherein the many errors of the former are corrected, and the defects supply'd, from an excellent manuscript. To which is added a large glossary ... and to the whole is prefix'd an exact account of the author's life and writings, from the best histories and records. Edinburgh: Andrew Symson and Robert Freebairn, 1710. Gawin Douglas (1474? - 1522), Bishop of Dunkeld and Scots poet noted for The Palice of Honour and King Hart, had the first edition of his translation of the Aeneid printed posthumously in 1553 (see the first edition, also on display). The 1710 edition, with its corrections and scholarly apparatus, was the foundation for the earliest work in Scottish philology. Douglas was a noted poet of the Chaucerian school; although he terms the language of the translation "Scottish," it does not in practice greatly differ from Middle English. The title page of Notre Dame's copy has an ex libris note: "Presented by the Rev. Philip O'Reily P.P. Nullaghoran Diocese of Ardagh to the library of Carlow college, January 1846." In addition, there is a manuscript ex libris note on the binder's leaf: "Will. Straton(?) jun., his Virgill Ann. Dom. 1756(?)."

Extractions: Background: Publius Vergilius Maro (70-19 B.C.), or Virgil, as he is more commonly called, was born in a mountain village north of Rome. Even though he became Rome's epic poet during the height of Augustus's reign, Virgil never lost his love for the countryside and for simple pleasures. His three major poems, the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the Aeneid, contain frequent references to pleasant groves of trees, hard-working farmers, harvest time, and informal peasant festivities. This bucolic or rural verse, taken form Book IV of the Georgics, is both a praise poem for bees and their mannerisms as well as advice for establishing and managing a hive: Mel: Caeli Donum Mel, donum e caelis-

Virgil And The Aeneid Enter Publius Vergilius Maro (7019 BC) Virgil, the most famous of themall. Virgil's world was one of political turmoil and bloodshed. http://www.idmon.freeserve.co.uk/zmyth5a.htm
Extractions: Main Index Dr. Peter Jones discusses Virgil and The Aeneid Dr Peter Jones is senior lecturer on classics at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, and this review is taken from The Classics in Translation, Daily Telegraph 3d January 1998. Why does a culture suddenly start sprouting seriously high-class poets? Lucretius and Catullus should have been quite enough for 1st-century BC Rome, but they keep on coming. Enter Publius Vergilius Maro (70-19 BC): Virgil, the most famous of them all. Virgil's world was one of political turmoil and bloodshed. Republican Rome was being ripped apart by power-hungry dynasts like Pompey and Caesar. In 48 BC Caesar claimed the "crown", (Pompey was left a headless corpse on an Egyptian beach), only to be assassinated in 44 BC. More civil war, more blood. In 31 BC Octavian, Caesar's adopted son and heir, the future emperor Augustus, emerged victorious. What now? The great masterpiece Virgil bequeathed to us in response to all this is the 'Aeneid', whose subject is the founding of the Roman race. It is the story of how Aeneas, a Trojan, fled the burning city of Troy and set out over the seas for Italy. Harried all the way by the pro-Greek goddess Juno, he finally made it, to settle in Alba Longa (Romulus would found Rome later on). Hence the famous beginning of the 'Aeneid': Arms, and the Man I sing, who forc'd by Fate

ET IN ARCADIA EGO Two centuries later, the greatest of Roman (and perhaps of European) poets, Virgil(7019 BC), used Theocritus's Greek Idylls in order to create in Latin 10 http://arcadia.ceid.upatras.gr/arkadia/engversion/culture/clasarcadia/etinarc.ht
Extractions: " Arcadia: A region of ancient Greece in the central Peloponnesus. Its inhabitants, somewhat isolated from the rest of the world, proverbially lived a simple, pastoral life. Any region offering rural simplicity and contentment. The term Arcadia is used to refer to an imaginary and paradisal place " Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) used this pictorial tradition to paint one of his most famous canvasses, known as "The Arcadian shepherds" or as "ET IN ARCADIA EGO" (1647) . This painting represents four Arcadians, in a meditative and melancholy mood, symmetrically arranged on either side of a tomb. One of the shepherds kneels on the ground and reads the inscription on the tomb: ET IN ARCADIA EGO, which can be translated either as "And I [= death] too (am) in Arcadia" or as "I [= the person in the tomb] also used to live in Arcadia." The second shepherd seems to discuss the inscription with a lovely girl standing near him. The third shepherd stands pensively aside. From Poussin's painting, Arcadia now takes on the tinges of a melancholic contemplation about death itself, about the fact that our happiness in this world is very transitory and evanescent. Even when we feel that we have discovered a place where peace and gentle joy reign, we must remember that it will end, and that all will vanish.

Extractions: Vergil More on Vergil Vergil or Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro), 70-19 B.C., greatest of Roman poets. He wrote: The Eclogues or Bucolics (37 B.C.) about an ideal rural life The Georgics (30 B.C.), the charm of real life and work on the farm. The Aeneid, one of the greatest long poems in world literature. The story follows Aeneas from the fall of Troy through his affair with the Carthaginian queen, Dido, to the founding of the Roman state. From the Georgics: Cambridge Latin Anthology Orpheus, consoling his sick love with a hollow tortoiseshell-lyre, used to sing to himself on the lonely shore of you, sweet wife, you at the arrival of day, you at its setting. Having entered the Taenarian jaws, the deep entrance-way of Dis and the grove murky with black horror, he approached the ghosts and the king who must be feared, hearts not knowing how to soften with human prayers. But the ghostly shades and the phantoms of those that lacked the day, moved by song, were going from the deep seats of Erebus, as many as the thousands of birds that hide among the leaves
