442 S.; mit 7 Farb- u. 3 s/w-Abb. Einbandrücken am Fuß u. Kopf leicht gestaucht, sonst tadelloses Ex. // Vergil verband seine Eklogen, Georgica und Aeneis so geschickt zu einer Einheit, dass Autoren wie Properz und Ovid bei der Konzeption eigener Gesamtwerke vor einer Herausforderung standen. Daneben sind ab dem 1. Jahrhundert nach Christus angeblich vergilische Jugendwerke bezeugt, die heute mit dem Titel Appendix Vergiliana bezeichnet werden und im Mittelpunkt der Studie stehen. Diese vergilischen iuvenilia bildeten keine konstante Sammlung; vielmehr wurde Vergils Trias im Laufe der Zeit durch unterschiedliche Appendices ergänzt. Dies zeigt sich nicht nur in der antiken und mittelalterlichen Rezeption, sondern auch in den Handschriften selbst. Dank einer neuen Erklärung der komplexen Überlieferung lassen sich die Veränderungen von Vergils uvre in diesen materiellen Textzeugen endlich besser verstehen.

Vergil Workbook Teacher's Manual

For more than a century, critics of the Aeneid have assumed that all or most of its episodes must propound something about Aeneas and his mission to found the Roman people, and through them about Rome and Augustus; whether that is their positive aspects, or their brutality and destructiveness, or the contrast between the public "voice" of their achievements and the private "voice" of the suffering they cause. This book argues that this assumption is wrong; the Aeneid's main purpose was to present a series of emotionally moving episodes, especially pathetic ones.This book shows that the Aeneid makes more sense when regarded primarily as a series of emotion-arousing episodes than as expressing a pro-Aeneas, anti-Aeneas or two voices message. That is how it was regarded into the nineteenth century and that is what the ancient Greeks and Romans assumed was the main purpose of literature.

--AN ESSENTIAL WORK IN AN INDISPENSABLE FORMAT-- For the first time, a full Latin-English parallel text of Vergil’s epic is provided here in a single volume. Readers can now have in hand one of the most crucial stories of Western literature—the hero Aeneas on his journey from the ruins of Troy to the future of Rome—with their own opportunity to engage any passage in the original language.

The Eclogues, Georgics, and Aeneid abound with plants, yet much Vergilian criticism underestimates their significance beyond attractive background detail or the occasional symbolic set-piece. This volume joins the growing field of nature-centred studies of literature, looking head-on at Vergil's plants and trees to reveal how fundamental they are to an understanding of the poet's outlook on religion, culture, and mankind's place within the world. Divided into two parts, the first explores the religious and more diffusely numinous aspects of Vergil's plants, from awe-inspiring sacred groves to divinely promoted fields of corn, and shows how both cultivated and uncultivated plants fit within and help to shape the complex landscape of Vergilian (and, more broadly, Roman) religious thought. In the second half of the book, the focus shifts towards human interactions with plants from the perspectives of both cultivation and relaxation, exploring the love-hate relationship with vegetation which sometimes supports and sometimes contests the human self-image as the world's dominant species. Combining a series of close readings of a wide range of passages with the identification of broader patterns of association, Vergil's Green Thoughts appositely reveals and celebrates the complexity and variety of Vergilian flora.

He was a master in arts magical, but not yet Incantor et Magus. Now Vergil Magus, the powerful sorcerer-poet, returns in the long-awaited prequel to Avram Davidson’s best-selling novel of fable and magic, The Phoenix and the Mirror. Here, Vergil’s extraordinary adventures begin as he journeys into the hideous heart of evil and darkness.... Enter the very rich city of Averno and discover a place of untold riches and untamed lusts, of orgies and drunken revelries, of madness and human corruption. Here is a decaying metropolis of wizards and warlocks, where old crones spin webs of cruelty and deceit, and hell lurks in a labyrinth of underworld caves. Vergil has come to Averno to uncover the secret of its eternal fires, the very center of its wealth and prominence. But as he explores the inner sancta of this ancient and heartless inferno, he finds, too, the fiery bed of Poppaea, the beautiful wife of the city’s most influential Magnates. With this forbidden pleasure comes forbidden knowledge, and Vergil is drawn into a web of intrigue that threatens to turn the terrible power of Averno against him. For centuries, the lords of the city have thrived on the bloody sacrifice of their own people. Now they are determined to add one more name to the scrolls of Averno’s dead...and to cast Vergil, now an outlaw, into the burning pits of the dying empire.
