About Virgil (70-19 BCE)
Roman poet of the Augustan age whose Aeneid is the founding national epic of Rome and Western literature's most-imitated hexameter poem. Closely associated with Ovid (younger Augustan poet of Metamorphoses) and Horace (third Augustan-era major poet). For an intellectual contrast, see Lucan, Roman poet (39-65 CE) of the Pharsalia — Lucan's Pharsalia explicitly rejected Virgilian Augustan epic by writing a civil-war epic that refused divine machinery and treated Roman empire as tragedy rather than destiny. Lucan's Pharsalia is a 60-years-later rebuke of the Aeneid's imperial theology — civil war as crime instead of providence.
