Virgil, V: P. Vergili Maronis Opera, Vol. 2 - Virgil

. .

Résumé :
Excerpt from P. Vergili Maronis Opera, Vol. 2: Notes Meliboeus, a dispossessed and exiled shepherd, encounters Tityrus fortunate in the undisturbed possession of his homestead. Tityrus is represented as a farm-slave who has just worked out his freedom; and this symbolises the confirmation of Virgil in his property, the slave's master representing Oc tavianus, and the two ideas of the slave's emancipation and Virgil's restora tion being so mixed up as to confuse the whole narrative; which is at one time allegorical, at another historical.
