AENEID SCHOLARS
(NOTE: odd format because if it was all on one page then the preview showed it all lol)
Poschl: pathetic fallacy – details from description match feelings characters
Muir: Virgil Modernising epic, new king of oral poety which keeps tradition & innovation (for
comparison from Homer)
Griffin: no neat conclusion to poem (lack of Virgil comment): effect is haunting, complex and in
harmony with rest of the poem, and deliberate.
Gransden: book 4 is like a Greek Tragedy: protagonists (Dido, Aeneas and Anna), divine messengers
and interventions, and Virgil playing the role of the chorus
