The primacy of vision in Virgil's Aeneid

"The essays in this book, derived from papers presented at the First International Symposium on Philodemus, Vergil, and the Augustans, held in 2000, offer a new baseline for understanding the effect of Philodemus and Epicureanism on both the thought and the poetic practices of Vergil, Horace, and other Augustan writers."--Jacket
