Andes district near Mantua, in Cisalpine Gaul Vergil turned to rural poetry of a contrasting kind, realistic and didactic. In his Georgics , completed in 30 B.C., he seeks, as had the Greek Hesiod before him, to interpret the charm of real life and work on the farm. His perfect poetic expression gives him the first place among pastoral poets. For the rest of his life Vergil worked on the Aeneid , a national epic honoring Rome and foretelling prosperity to come.

Extractions: The great Roman poet Virgil (also spelled Vergil) was born on Oct. 15, 70 BC, in Andes, a village near Mantua in northern Italy. Virgil spent his childhood on his father's farm and was educated at Cremona, Milan, and then Rome, where he studied rhetoric. There he met poets and statesmen who were to play an important part in his life. When civil war broke out in 49 BC, he retired to Naples where he studied philosophy with the Epicurean Siro. Beginning in 45 BC, encouraged by the statesman Pollio, Virgil spent eight or ten years composing the Eclogues , which were greatly admired in literary circles. They were adapted to the stage as mimes, and thus made him a popular, if elusive, figure. After the publication of the Eclogues , Virgil joined the literary circle of Gaius Maecenas, which would later include the poets Horace and Propertius. Over a period of seven years he wrote the
Extractions: The GREEKS Athens has long been viewed as the cradle of western civilization. Although other great cities and empires had exited before Athens, it was the Greek civilization that was the first to give the west a truly advanced and complex intellectual heritage. Literature saw its first great expression in the epic poems of Homer and the plays of the Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides and Aristophanes. Written history was practically created by Herodotus and further refined by Thucydides. The works of both Plato and Aristotle mark the beginning of grand philosophical thinking in the west, and science saw its first step forward in the medical works of Hippocrates and the mathematical works of Euclid, Archimedes and Apollonius. Homer (800 B.C.) Aeschylus (525-456 B.C.) Sophocles (496-406 B.C.) Herodotus (484-425 B.C.) Euripides (480-406 B.C.) Thucydides (460-400 B.C.) Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.)

Extractions: " Arcadia: A region of ancient Greece in the central Peloponnesus. Its inhabitants, somewhat isolated from the rest of the world, proverbially lived a simple, pastoral life. Any region offering rural simplicity and contentment. The term Arcadia is used to refer to an imaginary and paradisal place " Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) used this pictorial tradition to paint one of his most famous canvasses, known as "The Arcadian shepherds" or as "ET IN ARCADIA EGO" (1647) . This painting represents four Arcadians, in a meditative and melancholy mood, symmetrically arranged on either side of a tomb. One of the shepherds kneels on the ground and reads the inscription on the tomb: ET IN ARCADIA EGO, which can be translated either as "And I [= death] too (am) in Arcadia" or as "I [= the person in the tomb] also used to live in Arcadia." The second shepherd seems to discuss the inscription with a lovely girl standing near him. The third shepherd stands pensively aside. From Poussin's painting, Arcadia now takes on the tinges of a melancholic contemplation about death itself, about the fact that our happiness in this world is very transitory and evanescent. Even when we feel that we have discovered a place where peace and gentle joy reign, we must remember that it will end, and that all will vanish.

Extractions: Frescoes in the Villa Valmarana in Vicenza (1757) by Giovanni Battista TIEPOLO In 1757, Tiepolo and his son Giandomenico were invited to Vicenza to fresco rooms in the Villa Valmarana and in the adjoining guest quarters, the so-called 'foresteria'. Their patron was Count Giustino Valmarana, a scholar and theater enthusiast. Tiepolo frescoed the vestibule and four ground-floor rooms, while his son executed the decoration in the adjacent guest house. Giandomenico's lively genre scenes featuring peasants and merchants were intended to form a marked contrast with Giambattista's noble and tragic themes in the Villa, borrowed from famous works of Greek, Roman, and Italian literature. The Iliad of Homer (c. 750-650 BC), the Aeneid of Virgil (70-19 BC), Orlando furioso by Ariosto (1474-1533) and Gerusalemme liberata by Tasso (1544-1595) were the sources for the different scenes which, because of the small, almost intimate proportions of the rooms, are narrated with a certain simplicity and using a limited number of figures. The characteristic element of the frescoes in the Villa Valmarana is the way in which the representations have been conceived as theatrical scenes, in which the various heroes act as if on the stage.

Extractions: Inferno Canto I The Three Beasts, Virgil Notes 1 Time, midnight Good Friday morning in 1300, a Jubilee year proclaimed by Pope Boniface VIII. Dante, born in 1265, is thirty-five, halfway through the biblical span of seventy years. 17 In the Ptolemaic system, the sun is a planet. The allegorical meaning of the three beasts is not clear. One tradition maintains that the leopard is probably symbolic of fraud; the lion (l .45) of violence; and the she-wolf (l. 49) of incontinence. Since these make up the three chief divisions of hell, the poet first encounters them in reverse order. 64 Virgil (70-19 B. C.), born in the time of Julius Caesar, is the author of the Aeneid which describes Aeneas, son of Anchises, journeying through the underworld (Book VI) before battling to found Rome. Camilla, Turnus, etc. (ll. 107-08) are characters in the poem. 101 The Greyhound may refer to Dante's patron Can Grande della Scala, lord of Verona, which lies between two towns of Feltro in Northern Italy. Another interpretation considers the appearance of the Greyhound as the second coming of Christ who will deliver humankind from evil (the she-wolf). 115-120 The poet is anticipating his journey through hell, purgatory, and paradise.

Extractions: Epic and heroic literature Pre-Homeric times The best example of Near Eastern epic before Homer is the Sumerian poem, The Epic of Gilgamesh , which may date from 2000 BC or earlier, though its final written form appeared in the 7th century BC. (Gilgamesh was the name of a historical ruler of Uruk in Babylonia about 2700 BC.) Similarities with Homer include a quest structure and a featured trip to the underworld to learn the secret to eternal life. Other poetry of Homer's day Homer's chief rival was Hesiod From the surviving fragments of Homer's competitors it is clear that Hellenic poetry of the time was richly varied and highly creative. Classical Greece: the Homeric tradition was carried on brilliantly in classical Greek tragedy of the 5th century BC, where the one-man show of the bard gave way to performances embellished by multiple actors and elaborate staging. Classical Greek tragedy is represented by only a handful of surviving plays from three authors: Aeschylus (525-455 BC?) composed seventy or more plays but only seven have survived. The earliest of these works (

Extractions: Send it to a friend! Publius Vergilius Maro, known in English as Virgil (or occasionally Vergil, as closer to the Latin), is the greatest of all the Roman poets - and the author of Rome's national epic poem, the Aeneid . He was closely associated with Octavian, who, under the name of Augustus, was the first emperor of Rome; Octavian/Augustus looms large in Virgil's poetry. Virgil was born near Mantua and spent his early life in northern Italy (with perhaps a period at Naples). His first work was the Eclogues ('Selections'), originally known as the Bucolics , published around 39-38 BC; it is a book of ten pastoral poems that relate to the Idylls of the Hellenistic Greek poet Theocritus (third century BC). The Eclogues give an artificial, idealised picture of a world of singing shepherds (the Arcadia of a later European pastoral ideal), but are also filled with references to contemporary political figures and particularly (in 1 and 9) to Octavian's confiscations of land for his veterans (Virgil's own father may have been a victim of this process). The result is a complex mix of ancient Greek bucolics (pastoral poetry), the natural history of northern Italy, and the harsh realities of contemporary Roman politics. Virgil's most famous eclogue is the fourth, the so-called Messianic Eclogue, which until the 19th century was taken as prophesying the birth of Christ; in reality it probably looked to the expected son of Mark Antony and Octavian's sister, Octavia.

Extractions: Publius Vergilius Maro, 15 October 70 - 19 BC, known in English as Virgil or Vergil, Latin poet, is the author of the Eclogues , the Georgics , and the Aeneid , a narrative poem in twelve books that deserves to be called the Roman Empire's national epic. Born in the village of Andes (modern Pietole), near Mantua in Cisalpine Gaul (Gaul "this side", i.e., south of the Alps, present northern Italy), Vergil received his earliest schooling at Cremona and Milan. He then went to Rome to study rhetoric, medicine, and astronomy, which he soon abandoned for philosophy. In this period, while he was in the school of Siro the Epicurean, Vergil began writing poetry. A group of minor poems attributed to the youthful Vergil survive but most are spurious. One, the Catalepton (bagatelles?), consists of fourteen little poems, some of which may be Vergil's, and another, a short narrative poem titled the Culex (the mosquito), was attributed to Vergil as early as the first century AD.
