Description: The author analyzes the way in which Virgil indirectly characterizes the protagonists of his epic through allusions to the contemporary philosophical and ethical understanding of Homer's models. He then examines the Hellenistic critique of Homer in the "Aeneid".
Synopsis: A deeper understanding of Virgil's "Aeneid" can only be achieved through the "Iliad" and "Odyssey" as its most important models. As the author shows, classical views of Homer differ significantly from those prevailing at the end of the second millennium, and this allows the conception of the "Aeneid" to be seen in a new light. In the first part of the study, the author analyzes the way in which Virgil indirectly characterizes the protagonists of his epic - Aeneas, Turnus, Dido - through allusions to the contemporary philosophical and ethical understanding of Homer's models. In the second part, the author examines how the "poeta doctus" creatively transforms the Hellenistic critique of Homer in the "Aeneid".
