Teaching Vergil to write

The influence of the Greek scholars Philodemus and Parthenius on their contemporary Vergil remains understudied. Close examination of selected passages from the Aeneid demonstrates the poet’s reception of Philodemus’ theory of poetry and of Parthenius’ collection of mythological summaries, the Erotica Pathemata. Investigating the intertextual connections between Philodemus, Parthenius, and Vergil offers a chance to explore how an Augustan poet made use of the writings of two of his teachers and main influences, and an opportunity to examine the question of late Hellenistic aesthetics through the prism of its earliest reception
