Extractions: Virgil was a Roman poet (70 BC - 19 BC) that lived through the Roman Civil War and the establishment of the Empire under Caesar Augustus. His poetry was often of a pastoral or agricultural nature, although his most important work was the Aeneid. This twelve-book epic poem was Virgil's national epic for the Roman people that traces their origins to Aeneas, the leader of the Trojans after their great city was defeated by the Greeks. The poem relates the wanderings of Aeneas as he seeks to obey the gods and seek his destiny as the founder of the greatest empire in history. The first series of poems definitely written by Virgil are known as the Eclogues. These ten poems are of a pastoral nature and, for the most part, celebrate the lives of shpeherds, their singing contests and the concerns they have regarding the land they work upon. The famous fourth Eclogue, known as the Messianic Eclogue, is the exception which contains many passages thought by some (s... [

Extractions: ublius Vergilius Maro, was regarded by the Romans as their greatest poet. He was educated at Cremona, at Milan, and finally at Rome. His fame rests chiefly upon his national epic poem, the Aeneid. Virgil's life was devoted entirely to poetry. His health was never robust, and he played no part in military or political life. His earliest certain work are the Eclogues, a collection of 10 pastoral poems composed between 42 and 37 BC. They deal with the idealized situations of an imaginary world in which shepherds sing of their simple joys. The fifth eclogue has some relationship with the recent death of Julius Caesar; the 10th brings Gallus, a fellow poet, into the pastoral world. The fourth (the "Messianic", because it was later regarded as prophetic of Christianity) has great relevance to the contemporary situation. It prophesies the birth of a child who will bring back the Golden Age, banish sin, and restore peace. The Georgics, composed between 37 and 30 BC, is a plea for the restoration of the traditional agricultural life. This didactic poem, as Seneca said, was written "not to instruct farmers but to delight readers." The practical instruction is presented with vivid insight into nature and it is interspersed with poetical digressions. The Georgics are dedicated to Maecenas, the leading patron of the arts under Augustus. By this time Virgil was a member of the court circle and was personally committed to the same ideals as the government. As sole ruler of the Roman world after the battle of Actium (31 BC) Augustus used his power to establish a period of peace and stability. Virgil now set out to embody his ideal Rome in the Aeneid, the story of the foundation of the first settlement in Italy, from which Rome was to spring, by Aeneas, an exiled Trojan prince after the destruction of Troy by the Greeks in the 12th century BC. He presents Aeneas as the prototype of the Roman way of life. In the Aeneid Virigl, with prophecies and visions, foreshadowes the real events of Roman history. The poem is heroic and yet Augustan. Yet, to many readers the most memorable figure in the poem (book IV) is Dido, Queen of Carthago, with whom Aeneas falls in love, but, in the end, Aeneas' devotion to duty (Lat. pietas) prevails, leaving Dido to commit suicide.

Extractions: Poet Born near Mantua, he was one of the small farmer class whose life he celebrated in his pastoral Eclogues (37 BC), and Georgics (or Art of Husbandry, 30 BC). His epic poem, the Aeneid , glorified the dinasty of his patron Augustis. He was one of the must influential Roman writers, partly because his apparent forecast of the birth of Christ in the fourth eclogue gave him the status of an "honorary Christian" in the medieval Church. Tradition asserts that Virgil, like his later patron Maecenas, preferred the love of men, and Suetonius also provides some names. Virgil fell in love with a slave boy called Alexander owned by Asinius Pollio, his early patron, who encoraged him to write about the rural life. What emerges is that in the world of Augustan Rome the sexual preferences of men like Virgil and Maecenas were not an issue. In Roman literature, generally, with its materialistic spirit, the romance of friendship is little dwelt upon; though the grosser side of the passion, in such writers as Catullus and Martial, is much in evidence. Still we find in Virgil a notable instance. His 2nd Eclogue bears the marks of genuine feeling; and, according to some critics, he there under the guise of Shepherd Corydon's love for Alexis celebrates his own attachment to the youthful Alexander: "Corydon, keeper of cattle, once loved the fair lad Alexis;

Extractions: On this day in 1184 BC, according to calculations made some 900 years later by the North African Greek, Eratosthenes, Troy was sacked and burned. The precise date is now regarded as pretty much a wild guess; the city itself, long thought to be as legendary, has been tentatively identified at Hissarlik, in present-day Turkey; the poetry made from the legends lives on.

Extractions: Angelica Maria Anna Katarina Kauffman was born in Chur, Switzerland, in 1747 into the family of the painter J.-J. Kauffman, who provided her with professional training in arts. In 1742-1757, the family lived in Italy, after 1757 they moved to Schwarzberg (now Austria). In 1763, she came to Rome for the first time. During the next years, 1763-65, she traveled to Milan, Venice, Naples and Florence. In 1765, she became a member of the St. Lucas Academy in Rome. In 1766 she accompanied Lady Wentworth to England. There, Kauffman was a success with her portraits of the nobility. Under the influence of English sentimental literature she executed paintings on subjects from A. Pope and L. Sterne. She lived in London until 1781 and became the only woman in England to be admitted to the Royal Academy. In 1781, she married Antonio Zucchi (1726-95), a Venetian painter, who worked with the brothers Robert and James Adam in England. On her return to Rome in 1781, she was elected a member of the Venetian Academy. From 1781 till 1807 she lived and worked in Rome. Kauffman was very popular in her time, she painted allegorical, mythological and historical subjects, as well as subjects from literature and portraits. They are mostly treated in the sentimental fashion of the 18th century. In the paintings of her early Roman period drawing prevails over coloring, which shows her interest in Mengs and aesthetic ideas of neoclassicism. In later works on mythological subjects the archeological accuracy of details was strengthened and theatrical effects appeared. Works of Kauffman were widely known in Europe due to engravings by other artists. She was a friend of the painter
Extractions: "The Romans.On them I impose no limits of time or place.I have given them an empire that will know no end." The Roman poet Virgil (7019 b.c.) placed these resounding words in the mouth of the king of the gods, Jupiter. He is declaring his purpose for the exiles of Troy, the city captured by the Greeks. Led by the Trojan prince Aeneas, the exiles are on their way to Italy, where they are fated, after much sorrow and war, to found the city of Rome. Jupiter is speaking to Venus, the goddess of love, who is also the mother of Aeneas. She fears that Jupiter's consort, Juno, who has always favored the Greeks and opposed the Trojans, will continue to persecute the exiles. The king of the gods reassures Venus that her son and his followers will accomplish their purpose and that this purpose will be greater than even they imagine"an empire that will know no end." Jupiter's promise is how Virgil links his epic of the Trojan exiles, the Aeneid, to the history of Rome through the centuries to Virgil's own time. Aeneas' son, Jupiter says, will be called Iulus when the exiles settle in Italy; Iulus will be the forefather of Romulus, the founder of Rome and also the ancestor of Julius Caesar (10044 b.c.) and Augustus (63 b.c.a.d.14), the rulers of Rome when Virgil wrote. The tradition that the Julian family was descended from Venus was an old one; in the Aeneid it received poetic confirmation.
