Vergil, Philodemus, and the Augustans

Edited by David Armstrong, Jeffrey Fish, Patricia A. Johnston and Marilyn B. Skinner.

Papers presented at the Symposium Cumanum "Vergil and Philodemus", held at the Villa Vergiliana in Cuma, Italy, in June 2000. Sixteen scholars trace Philodemus' influence on Vergil's early writings, the Eclogues and the Georgics, and on the Aeneid, as well as on the writings of Horace and others. The volume editors also provide a substantial introduction to Philodemus' philosophical ideas for all classicists seeking a fuller understanding of this pivotal figure.
