PREFACE.

——°-0§0:°°—~

Tn: text of the Aeneid here‘presented is based upon a
careful collation of the editions of IIeyne, \Vagner, Coning-
ston, Ladewig. and Ribbeck. with frequent reference to other
standard authorities, and with constant and especial regard
to the testimony of the best manuscripts,—for knowledge
1 of which testimony I am indebted, above all other sources, to
Ribbeck’s faithful labels.

In the preparation of the Notes, the endeavor has been
:made to meet the actual wants of students in our schools.
5 Frequent references are made to the grammars most in use
:. in this country, and explanations are furnished 0f passages
Ediflicult of interpretation, of peculiarities of syntax, and of
tench points of history, geography, mythology, and antiqui-
ties as require elucidation. In all cases, however, Where
: sufficient information is given in the ordinary dictionaries,

(as Andrews’s Lexicon,) I have felt at liberty to omit making
1a note. A Metrical Index has been added, in which the
: chief difficulties in scanning are solved. ,

One thing is presumed throughout,—that the student will

' make a faithful use of his grammar and his dictionary; the
only way in which true scholars are made. Nor can I too

[earnestly advise the learner to seek, habitually, for more
minute information upon points of history, antiquities, etc.,
in special dictionaries and other standard works.

It will be seen that, in addition to the results of my owr
investigations, I have availed myself of the rich stores Which
have been accumulated by successive generations of able
commentators upon Virgil. In all cases Where I am indebted
to any one for information, or for felicity of expression, care
has been taken to give credit. None but those who have

done similar work themselves, can form any adequate idea
" 1 , (iii)

of the labor with which I have compared conflicting opinions,
and, weighing each case upon its own merits, formed ajudg.
ment of my own. The result of hours of study is sometimes
embodied in a single line, credited to some commentator.

The Arguments of the different Books have been taken
from Bryce, with occasional additions from other sources.
The Life of Virgil is in the main a compilation from Lade-
wig, Wagner. ’l‘hompson, and Long. Madvig, Zumpt, and
Wagner are my chief authorities for the Remarks appended
to the Metrical Index.

As in all similar editions designed for text-books, in Great
Britain and America, the necessity has been felt of retaining
the orthog 'aphy of the dictionaries and grammars. But even
were the edition of-such a kind as to justify my entering into
questions of antiquarian seholarship,——questions in which I
confess a peculiar l'aseination,——l should be embarrassed by the
unsettled state in which the true Virgilian orthography still
remains. The uniformity of Wagner is in many cases arbi-
trary, and some of his conclusions have already been shaken;
the varying and inconsistent orthography 0f Ribbeck repre-
sents to be sure the condition of the manuscripts, but cannot
be supposed to be theorthogrnpliy of Virgil ; and the attempts
of Paldamus and Coilington to pursue a middle course, while
not without commendable features, -an never be satisfactory
to scholars. Careful study of inscriptions, manuscripts, and
grammarians is still needed, before we can be confident that
We are writing words as Virgil wrote them.

I congratulate those who shall study this volume upon their
introduction to one of the most charming of poets, who will
delight them in their youth, and still more, if possible, when
they read him anew in after—days. Let them dwell long and
lovingly upon his g: 'aeel‘ul verses. :onnnittiug some of his
enoicest passages to memory, and they will find on every
perusal old beauties that never pall, and new beauties con-
tinually presented from an exhaustless store.

LIFE OF VIRGIL.

Homoe—

PUBLIUS VERGILIUS MARo (for so. and not Virgilius, the best

‘ MSS. give his na‘me) was born at Andes, a little village about

three miles below Mantua, on the 15th Oct., B. C. 70. His

- father, a comfortable farmer, spared no pains to give his son

a. liberal Greek and Latin education, sending him to school at
Cremona, and, after he had assumed the manly gown at the
beginning of his sixteenth year, to Milan, and finally to Naples,
where he was instructed by the poet and philosopher Parthe-
nius. After several years’ residence at Naples, Virgil betook
himselfto Rome (B. C. 47), where he took lessons of the Epicu~
rean Syron, the friend of Cicero, in philosophy, mathematics,
and physics. His love of letters and of a country-life, as well
as his feeble health, ill adapted for the strifes of the forum, or
the hardships of military service, prevented his indulging an
ambition for a public career, and caused him to withdraw to
his farm at Andes. where he occupied himself with husbandry,
and with the study of the Greek poets, especially Theocritus.
In this period he wrote a number of short poems, some of which
may have descended to our times: although the authenticity of
the minor poems ascribed to Virgil is doubtful. In the year
42 he began to write his Bucolz'cs, to which the name Eclagues
was afterwards given by the critics. These are short pastoral
poems, ten in number, and were probably all written before the
year 37. They at once attracted attention and gained him fame
and friends. Some lines from them being recited on the stage,
when Virgil happened once to be in the theatre, the whole
audience rose to do him honor. _ Their merit consists in their
versification. which was smoother and more polished than the
hexameters which the Romans had yet seen, and in many nat—
ural and simple touches. John Dryden, in the Dedication of
his translation of the “Pastorals,” says: “[Virgil] found the
strength of his genius betimes, and was, even in his youth, pre-
luding to his Georgics and his Aene'is. He could not forbear
to try his wings. though his pinions were not hardened to main-
tain a long laborious flight. Yet sometimes they bore him to a
.pitch as lofty as ever he was able to reach afterwards. But
when he was admonished by his subject to descend, he came

down gently, circling in the air, and. singing, to the ground;
like a lark, melodious in her mounting, and continuing her
song till she alightS, still preparing for a higher flight at her
next sally, and tuning her voice to better musxc.”

After the battle of Philippi (B. C. 42) Octavianus assigned to
his soldiers lands in various parts of Italy; and the neighbor-
hood of Cremona and Mantua (which had adhered to the cause
of Brutus and CassiuS) was one of the districts in which the sol-
diers were planted, and from which the former possessors were
dislodged. Virgil was thus deprived of his property. It is
said that it was seized by a veteran named Claudius or Clodius;
that Asinius Pollio, who was then governor of Gallia Transpa-
dana, advised Virgil to apply to ()etavianus at Rome for the
restitution of his land, and that ()ctavianus granted his request.
It is supposed that Virgil wrote the Eclogue which stands first
in our editions (but was fourth in the order of composition) to ex-
press his gratitude to ()ctavianus Caesar. There is an uncertain
tradition of a subsequent dispossession from his estate, when he
was obliged to flee before the sword of an angry soldier, and of a
final restoration of his property after the peace of Brundusium.

Virgil gained early the friendship of Maecenas, the confiden-
tial friend and counsellor of Augustus, and the munificent patron
of men of letters, .. whose house. whose table, and whose gar-
dens, were the resort of all the wits, virtuosi, actors, joyous
spirits, and agreeable idlers of Rome.”* With the Emperor
himself, with Maeeenas and Pollio, and with all the members
of the brilliant coterie of men of genius who surrounded the
court of Augustus. he lived on terms of cordial intimacy. The
successful productions of others afforded him as much pleasure
as if they were his own. llis large library was open to all men
of learning: and he often quoted the saying of Euripides that
“the property of friends is a common good,” (n‘z rdw who» xomi.)

The most finished work of Virgil, his Goorgz’ca, an agricultu-
ral poem, was undertaken at the suggestion of Maecenas. Its
object was “to recommend the principles of the ancient Romans,
their love of home. of labor. of piety, and order; to magnify
their domestic happiness and greatness: to make men proud
of their country on better grounds than the mere glory of its
arms and extent of its conquests. . . . To comprehend the
moral grandeur of the Georgies, in point of style the most per-
fect piece of Roman literature. we must regard it as the glori-
fication of LaborF-l- While writing this poem. Virgil composed
many verses in the morning. but. by evening reduced them to a
very few; so that he used to compare himself to a. bear. which
licks its sllapeless otl'sl‘uring into t'orm.

* Wieland (quoted by Dean Millnan. in his Life ofHoraoe.)

LIFE OF VIRGIL. vii

His epic poem, the Aeneid, had long been meditated. To its
aomposition he gave the last eleven years of his life; he pur-
posed devoting three years more to polishing and elaborating
the poem; but he died without having given it his final touches.
On this account, it is said, he wished, in his last illness, to
burn it; but his friends would not allow him, and it. was pre-
served and published, without alteration, by Varius and Plotius.
While composing his epic, Virgil occasionally recited passages
from it to his companions, and the highest expectations were
raised ofthe greatness of the work. (Cf. Propert. Eleg. II. 34, 65.)

In the year 23 B. C. died Marcellus, the son of the Emperor’s
sister, Octavia, by her first husband; and as Virgil lost no
opportunity of gratifying his patron, he introduced into the
sixth book of the Aeneid (861—887) the well-known allusion to
the virtues of this youth, who was cut oil" by a premature death.
Octavia is said to have been present with the Emperor, when
the poet was reciting this allusion to her son, and to have
fainted from her emotions. She rewarded the poet munificently.*

“ The fortunes of a man, who, fleeing from a burning city and
a kingdom overthrown, and borne by the fates over boundless
and unknown seas, founds, on a foreign soil. held by men the
most warlike, and most fiercely defended, a new realm,——that
realm destined to become the greatest and the most enduring
empire which the world has seen,” —-what grander argument
could poet have? Nor is the execution of the task unworthy of
the theme. In language always elegant, often grand and sub-
lime, in feeling sweet, pure, and noble, —it is to no happy acci-
dent, but to its own intrinsic perfections, that the Aeneid owes
the immortality of its fame. Needless complaint has been made
that Virgil imitates Homer. Dryden gallantly denies that the
Roman poet copies his master, and says “ the Grecian had only
the advantage of writing first.” As Seneca well puts it, Virgil
never stole, but only openly imitated. Whatever he took, he
wrought over and made his own; it is the unmistakable air of
Rome that breathes from every page: the stamp of Virgil is on
the whole work. Again; had Homer himself no models? Nay,
was he not a magnificent freebooter in the domain of the ballad~
makers who preceded him? Is Dante any the less original, in
that he confesses to our Virgil, “ Thou art my master, and my
author thou”?

“Virgil imitated Homer, but imitated him as a rival, not as a
disciple.” 1’ Next to Homer, his mind was powerfully influenced
by the study of the Athenian drama, “which was in fact the
only instance of a genius and culture cominensurate with his
own, operating in a sphere analogous to his.” 1'

‘ It is said that Octavia sent Virgil ten sestertia for each of the lines referring
to Marcellus, making a sum of about ten thousand dollars. 1- Conington.

viii LIFE OF VIRGIL.

After finishing the first. draft of his epic, Virgil contemplated
a tour in Greece and Asia, that he might perfect it among the
scenes in which many of its incidents are laid. With a dread
almost prophetic, Horace prays for his safe return, in the beau-
tiful ode addressed to the ship which bore his departing friend
oh his way. At Athens the poet met with Augustus, who was
returningt'rom Santos to Rome. Changing hist'ortuer intention,
Virgil determined to accompany his patron. On a visit to Me-
gara, he was seized with a sudden indisposition. which his voy-
age increased, and he died a few days after his arrival at Brun-
dusium, 0n the 22d of Sept... 15.“. It), in his fil'ty~first year. In
accordance with his request his body was conveyed for burial
to Naples, which had been his favorite place of residence, both
on account of the extreme beauty of the scenery, and the mild—
ness of the climate, congenial to his delicate health. His tomb
still stands on the hill of Posilipo, and is visited by pilgrims
from eVery land.

In person, Virgil is said to have been tall, and stoutly made,
of dark complexion, and with the appearance of a farmer. He
was slow in speech, and his manners were shy and of almostfem~
inine modesty. We are told that he read with great sweetness,
and imparted even to dull matter a charm which gave it a. life not
its own. From his asthmatic tendency. and the weak eyes of
Horace, arose the saying attributed to Augustus, that, with these
poets on either hand, he was sitting between sighs and tears.

His parents lived long enough to enable him to show his affec-
tion and gratitude by maintaining them in affluence, his father
having become blind. Donatus rates his fortune at about ten
thousand sestertia, (nearly four hundred thousand dollars,)
and states that his house at Rome stood on the Esquiline Hill,
near the gardens of Maeeenas and the house of Horace.

His fame. which was established in his life-time, was cher-
ished after his death. as an inheritance in which every Roman
had a share; and his works became school-books even before
the death of Augustus. and have continued such ever since. In
the Middle Ages, the belief was prevalent that he. had been a
great. magician: and of his feats most wonderful things were re.
lated. But it needs not fiction to attest his powers of enchant-
ment; for till civilization is no more. successive generations of
readers shall confess a genuine magic in the spell of that.

“Spirit of Mantua,

0f whom the fame still in the world endures
And shall endure, long~lasting as the world};

NOTES TO

VIRGIL’S AENEID.

——oot45=20°-——

THE “ Ae-né’-id” derives its name from its hero, Ae—né'-as, a. Trojan
prince, the son of Anchises and Venus. Its subject is his “adven-
tures, while sailing from Troy, after the destruction of that city, in
search of a settlement,— his final landing in Italy,—— and his triumphant
struggle with his enemies and his rival, Turnus, in that country, leav-
ing him free to marry Lavinia, the daughter of Latinus, king of the
Latins, and to found Lavinium, the mother city of Rome.” As a
“valiant warrior and pious worshipper of the gods,” Aeneas represents
Virgil’s ideal of the Roman people. Indirectly, the object of the poem
is to gratify the pride of the Romans, to quicken their patriotism, to
heighten their regard for religion, and to exalt their monarch,
Augustus. .

“ The grand religious idea which breathes throughout the Aeneid,”
says Merivale, “is the persuasion that the Romans are the sons and
successors of the Trojans, the chosen race of heaven, of divine lineage
and royal pretensions, whose destinies have engaged all the care of
Olympus from the beginning, till they reach at last their consumma-
tion in the blissful regeneration of the empire. It maintains the exist-
ence of Providence as the bond of the Roman commonwealth. ‘Yes!
there are gods,’ it proclaims, ‘and the glories of Rome demonstrate it.’ "

The first six books describe the adventures and wanderings of Aeneas
before reaching his destined home in Italy, the last six his wars with
Turnus and his allies.

THE INSCRIPTION.

These four lines, of doubtful authorship, form no part of the poem;
they may have been prefixed, however, simply as an epigram, to some
copies of the first book circulated by Virgil among his friends. Supply
tum with modulatua and cano at the end of the fourth line.

BOOK 1.

ARGUMENT.

AFTER stating the subject of the poem generally (1—7), invoking the
Muse (8—11), and accounting for the resentment of Juno to the Trojan
race (12—33), Virgil, plunging at once into the middle of the action, (like
Homer, Milton, and other great epic poets,) introduces his hero, in the
seventh year of his wanderings after the destruction of Troy,just start-
ing from Sicily and making for the Italian mainland. A tempest is sent
forth against him by Aeolus, at the instigation of Juno, and drives his
shattered ships on the'coast of Africa (34—123). Neptune interferes to
calm the storm (124—156). Aeneas lands,slays seven stags of immense
size, gives one to each of the seven ships now remaining to him, and
exhorts his fellow—exiles to patience and hope (157—207). The banquet
of the ships’ crews follows (208—222). Venus pleads the cause of her
son, Aeneas, and of the Trojans, before Jupiter, and lays all the blame
of their misfortunes on Juno. The king of the gods being moved by
the appeal, discloses the decrees of the Fates, and consoles his daughter
by the assurance of future prosperity and unbounded empire to the
Trojans in their descendants, the Roman people (223—296). Mercury is
sent down to render Dido friendly to Aeneas (297-304). Satisfied with
the declaration of Jupiter, Venus descends to earth, and, in the guise
of a huntress, presents herself to Aeneas, announces that the ships
which he had supposed lost were safe in port. and shows the city of
Carthage in progress of building by the Phoenician Dido (305—409).
Aeneas, under cover of a. cloud, enters Carthage in company with his
faithful attendant, Achates (410—420). Description of rising Carthage
(421—436). Aeneas visits the temple of Juno, and sees depicted on its
walls the battles and heroes of the Trojan war (437—493). Dido visits
the temple (494-508). A deputation from the twelve missing ships of
the Trojans waits on Dido, to complain of the outrages of her people,
and bewails the loss of Aeneas (509—560). Dido consoles them, ofl'ers
them either a temporary sojourn or a lasting home, and promises to
small for Aeneas (561—578). Instantly Aeneas and Aehates become

(282)

BOOK I. 283

visible. Aeneas thanks Dido for her generosity (579—612). Dido bids
him welcome, sends food to the crews at the ships, and orders a splendid
banquet in the palace (614—642). 'Aeneas sends for his son, Aseanius
(643—656). Venus, substituting Cupid for Ascanius, inflames Queen
Dido with a passionate love for her guest (657—722). The banquet in
Dido’s palace. The time passes in song and talk, till Dido begs Aeneas
to tell the whole story of the fall of Troy and his seven years of wan-
dering (699-756).

the name “Latins”; that his son Aseanius founded Alba (“ and the
Alban nobles,” Albanique patres); and that from his descendants arose

'hc principal founders of Rome.

58. Ni faciat. ’uless he do (this). We might have expected the
imperf. subj. instead of the pres, since the supposition (of his not doing
this: "1', 1fnoi, or unless) is contrary to fact. But the use of the present
makes the sentence more animated, suggesting that it all depends upon
his will. whether he control the winds or not. So in the consequent
clause, ferunt terranlque denote, as L. says, “ the possible and probable
consequence, while the imperf. subj. would indicate the necessary con-
sequence.” The imperf. might have been used both in the protasis and
in the apodosis: the effect of the use of the present is to make the pic-
ture more vivid, and to bring the action before our eyes. “ The pres-
ent,” says 0., expresses “the greater imminence of that which is
prevented or averted.” Bryce, by the use of the fut. indie. in his trans-
lation, perhaps comes as near to giving the force of the construction as
we can in English : “ Unless he do this, they will assuredly (qm'ppe)
bear away with them. in rapid course, seas, and continents, and lofty
heaven, and sweep them through the air.” Cf. Aen. II. 599; VI. 292;

place, the person whose interest is affected. A. J: S. 222; M. 241, and
Obs. 3. Some grainmarians would call this simply a use of the dat. for
the possessive gen.; but it means more than a genitive, andiis best
explained by calling it dativc of relation or reference, under the spe~
eial head of dative of disadvantage. Where in prose the gen. or abl.
would be used, as giving the idea simply and directly, the poets often
prefer the dative: the dative expressing relations more vaguely and
indirectly, and therefore more delicately, than the other cases. From
the difference of idiom between English and Latin, we are often obliged
to translate such passages in the less subtile, prosaic manner, as here:
the limbs of Aeneas are relaxed, etc. —Frigore, with chilling fear. Fear

dative of disadvantage,) annexed, like Aeneae in line 92. not to a. single
word, but to the whole predicate (sh-{dens . . . lollit). The present jun--
ticiple represents the time as contemporaneous with that of the prin-

invented by Virgil as that of a leader of the Lycians, one of the com-
panions of Aeneas. “Fidus is a natural epithet of an ally who had
followed the fortunes of Troy, not only during the siege, but in exile.”

119. Tabulae, planks, boards.

120. The names of Ilioneus and Abas are found in the Iliad, but the

named by Virgil as the faithful friend and armor~bearer of Aeneas.
Aletes is a fictitious name.

122. Hiemps (hiems) = tempeatae.

123. Imbrem. flood.

125, 126. Supply ease with both emissam and refuaa. These perfect
infinitives represent an action as past at the time of the action of the
verb (sensit) on which they depend, while the present inf. in the pre-
ceding line, miscerz‘, represents an action as contemporaneous with that
of the principal verb. Neptune perceived that the sea was agitated, and
that a storm had been sent forth, etc. —Et imis stagna refusa (esse)
vadis, and that the deep waters had been upheaval from their lowest
depths. “ Stagna” (lit. the standing waters) = the still waters at a con-
siderable depth below the surface. —Va.dis, abl. of point of departure,
prep. omitted by poetical usage. H. 422, 2; A. & S. 255, Rem. 3, (b.)

127. Summa unda, from the top of the wave.

129. Caelique ruina, and the downfall of the shy. (In the fierce
rains and wind and blinding mists, the skies themselves seem to be fall-

is not necessary, in translating from one language into another, to turn
poetry into prose.

130. Latuere fratrem, were hidfrom her brother (Neptune). H. 371,

" Is it come to this, that,” &e. —Meo sine numine, without my divine
will, i. e. without my assent.

135. Quos ego—. Neptune abruptly breaks off, calming himself to
quell the tumult. It may be safely left to the student to complete in
thought the sentence left unfinished. Grammarians call this mode of
speaking Aposiopésis. H. 704, 1, 3; A. d; S. 324, 33. See an instance

to deities simply as a title of honor.—Caelo aperto, abl. absol. of
attendant circumstance: “ with clear sky all round him.”

156. Curruque—secundo. Antlflyl‘ng on his swiftglirling chariot

160. Objectu laterum, by the shelter of its sidea.

160, 161. Quibus—reductos, by which every wave from the deep in

164. Silvis seaena comseis, a background of waving woods. H. 428;
A. & S. 211, Rem. 6. “Seena” was the wall which closed the stage

165. Desuper, from above, 2'. e. on the hills receding from the water.
To be taken with imminer. —H0rrenti, rough, shaggy, bristling. Yet
the derived meaning, causing dread, auful, may, as Heyne suggests, be
combined with the literal meaning, and some prefer to give it alone in
translating this passage.

166. Sub fronte, beneath the brow of the cliffs—Adverse, facing
you, -— opposite one entering the harbor; and therefore at the head of
the cove.-—Scopulis pendentibus antrum, a cave formed of overhang-

191. Miscet, scatters (or drives) in confusion.

193. Fundat and aequet. The indie. would express historically the

S. 263, 3.—Humi. II. 423, II, and 424, 2; A. & S. 221, Rem. 3. This
form is really the old (oz-urine case of humus, 1' being the locative end-
ing; as dozm‘, in the house, at home. This latter form is locative only,
as the genitive, nfa house, is always domfis, and this noun should he
declined as having seven cases. It is improper to call such forms as
Romae (originally Romai), at Rome, Corinthi, at Corinth, genitives;
they are really locativos.

more exact than C.’s, res periculosas.

207. Rebus secundis, dat. for prosperous fortunes. “ Secundus,”

“ that follows fast,” and hence acquires a general meaning of favorable,
prosperous. ’

209. Vultu, abl. of means.

210. Se accingunt, gird themselves. gird up their loins. The ancients
generally wore long flowing robes; hence, when there was Work to be
done, they found it necessary to gird tight their loose garments; and
thus se uccingene and similar expressions came to signify to prepare
for work or for action. The student will remember instances in the
Bible.

213. Aena. locant. Commentators differ as to the purpose of heating
the water, whether it was for bathing or for cooking. Boiled meat was
unknown to the Homeric age; but Virgil may have introduced (as he
often does) the habit of his own time.

215. Implentur, Meg/fill themselves. The passive voice in Latin is
sometimes used like the Greelg middle.—Bacchi, 2'. e. wine. (See note

216. Exempta, sc. ML—Remotae, so. aunt. Mensae remotae is not
appropriate to this occasion, for the Trojans were stretched upon the
grass (line 214); but it is the general phrase for concluding a meal,
derived from the Roman practice of removing the tables.

218. Inter governs spam and metum. A. (if, S. 279, 10, if.)

In prose we should have had the subjunctive, inasmuch as quibus after
quid Imzlum poiuerc enmnu’ttcrc, is equivalent to at 178. The indicative
states a thing as an actual fact. and is often preferred by the poets on
account of its greater vivacity. .

reached the Trojan territory, and had pitched his tents late at night,
Ulysses and Diomedes penetrated into his camp, slew Rhesus himself,
and carried ofi‘ his horses.”—Niveis tentoria velis. Homer represents
the Greeks and Trojans as encamped, not in tents, but in huts of planks
thatched with grass; but Virgil here, as often, ascribes to the Homeric

BOOK II.

THE voice of criticism has unanimously fixed on this book, along
with the Fourth and Sixth, as affording the best evidence of the true
greatness of Virgil. Donatus tells us that the poet himself chose these
three books to read to Augustus as a specimen of his work. 0.

ARGUMENT.

Aeneas, in compliance with Dido’s request, details the particulars of
the capture of Troy, so far as he had witnessed them. After expressing
reluctance to fight his disagreeable battles over again, he goes on to
tell of the despondency of the Greeks in the tenth year of the war,
together with their stratagem of the horse. Lurking in Ten‘édos, they
send a cunning fellow, Sinon, to prepare the way for the reception of
the wooden horse, which they pretended to be an offering to Pallas in
exchange for the stolen Palladium. The Trojans are credulous, and
believe the whole. but La-éc-o—on sees through the deceit, and exposes
it. His warnings, however, are vain; and he is himself slain by two
serpents sent against him by Minerva (1—249). The Greeks return, in
the night, from Tenédos; the horse is opened, and the city is taken
(250-267). Aeneas is warned by Hector’s shade to consult for his safety,
but he is too valiant to follow the suggestion before he has tried what
might can do. He rushes into the conflict, and is for a While success-
ful, till, having assumed the armor of some Greeks whom they had

slain, his associates are mistaken by the Trojans, and many of them
killed by their own friends (268—1137). Then follow the sack of Priam’s
palace and the murder of the king himself (438-558). Aeneas, on his
way homcward to save his father, wife, and son, is prevented from
slaying Helen, the cause of the war, by the sudden appearance of his
mother, who shows him that the overthrow of Troy is the work not of
man but of heaven, and reveals to him the bodily presence of the gods
themselves, helping in the work of destruction (559—631). The aged
Anchiscs refuses to seek safety, but at last, encouraged by heavenly
signs, consents (632—704). The flight (705-735). Cre-fi-sa, the wife of
Aeneas, is lost in the confusion (736-746). Aeneas, returning in search
of her to the city,finds it wholly occupied by the Greeks (747—767).
The shade of Crciisa appears to him, consoles him, and foretells his long
wandering, which will end in an Italian kingdom, and a second mar-
riage (768—794). He returns to his father and followers, and takes
shelter in Mount Ida (795—804).

1. Conticuére—tenebant. Notice the difference of tense, the perf.
indefinite (or aorist) denoting a momentary and perfectly completed
action,——“ in a moment all were hushed in silence,”—the imperfect
(tenebant), “ kept their eyes fixed (upon him),” a continued action.

who placed their shields over their heads to secure themselves against
the darts and other missiles of the enemy. The shields fitted so closely
together as to present one unbroken surface, and were also so firm that
men could walk upon them, and even horses and chariots be driven over
them. The testmlu formed a great protection to the soldiers, either in
battle, or when they advanced to attack the walls or gates of a town.”
Smith’s Diet. Antiq. p. 1119.

ARGUMENT.

In the winter after the overthrow of Troy, Aeneas builds a. fleet (1-8).
He sails with a number of fellow-exiles in the spring or summer of the
second year, and spends the winter in Thrace, where he begins to found
a city; but the shade of Polydorus warns him to avoid the cursed land
(8—68). In the third year, he goes to Delos, and consults the oracle,
but, misinterpreting the response, steers for Crete instead of Italy (73-
120). Ill omens and a plague retard the building of his rising city;
but, warned by the gods, in the fifth year he directs his course to Italy
(121—191). He is wafted in a storm to the Strophides, thence to Ae-
tium, where he celebrates games in honor of Apollo (192—290). In the
sixth year, he lands in Epirus, and finds it ruled over by Helé’nus, one
of the sons of Priam, to whom,after the death of Pyrrhus, the kingdom
had fallen, and along with it Andromfiche, formerly the wife of Hector.
He is received with great kindness. and instructed by Helenus in all the
labors and dangers that yet await. him on his voyage (291—505). Cross-
ing to the Italian shore, he e‘oasts southward, approaches the district of
Sicily near to Aetna, escapes the Cyclopes, and again stands out to sea
(506—683). Avoiding Scylla and Cliarylulis. he reaches Drepanum,
where his father Anehises dies: thence setting sail, he is driven to Car-
thage, where he arrives in the summer of the seventh year, probably as
winter is drawing on (684-718).

BOOK IV.

ARGUMENT.

DIDO, enamored of Aeneas, consults her sister Anna,who advises her
to consent to marriage with the Trojan prince (1-53). Her passion fur-
ther described (54—89). Juno, alarmed, proposes to Venus the marriage
of Aeneas and Dido, with the junction of the two nations, devising a
plan by which to bring it about. Venus seemingly assents (90-128).
The Carthaginians and Trojans go forth to hunt (129-159). In a vio-
lent thunder-storm, sent down by Juno. Aeneas and Dido accidentally
take refuge in the same cave, and are married (160-472). Fame bears
the tidings through Libya (173—197). King Iarbas, a rejected suitor
of Dido’s, complains to his father Jupiter of her preference for Aeneas
(198—213). Jupiter sends Mercury to Aeneas with an authoritative
command to leave Africa and make for Italy (219—278). In obedience
to the will of heaven, Aeneas prepares for his departure, attempting to
conceal his plans from Dido (279-295). The queen divines his inten-
tions, and upbraids himy but in vain (296—449). Unable to bear up
against her grief she determines to die; urged to her fatal purpose by
dire portents and bad dreams (450—473). Concealing her designs from
her sister, she bids her erect a huge pyre. and pretends that it is in-
tended for the celebration of magic ceremonies to cure her of her love
(474—521). Her grief now increases to frenzy; but Aeneas has already
weighed anchor, and stands out to sea in the middle of the night (522-~
583). In the morning Dido. inaddened by the sight of the ships in the
distant offing, breaks out in a paroxysm of love—sick sorrow, and impre-
cates calamities on her once cherished guest (584—629); and having
dismissed all her attendants, after reviewing her life in a. few words,
and pronouncing it happy and glorious but for this last sorrow, she
clays herself on the pyre (630—705).

“ The subject of this book has made it the most attractive, perhaps
the most celebrated, part of the poem.” Virgil "' has struck the chord
of modern passion, and powerfully has it responded; more powerfully,

with Dido; and when Aeneas sets sail; he appears to as rather as the

ARGUMENT.

AENEAS sets sail for Italy, but is a second time driven on the coast
of Sicily, where, assisted by Aeestes, he celebrates games at his father’s
tomb on the anniversary of his death (1—603). Meantime the Trojan
women, instigated by Iris, the messenger of June, set fire to the ships,
of which four are burned, and the others saved in answer to the prayers
of Aeneas (604—699). Following the advice of Nautes, and of Anchises
(who appears to his son in a vision, and gives him advice and direction
with regard to his future course), Aeneas founds the town of Acesta,
and leaves, as colonists, many of the matrons, and the old men unfit
for actual service. The Trojans again set sail for Latium, under Nep-
tune’s protection; and at length, after his many wanderings, our hero
reaches Italy. having, however, lost his pilot, Palinfirus, when near the
Hesperian coast (700—871).

In this pleasing interlude between the tragedy of the Fourth Book
and the mysterious solcmnities of the Sixth, Aeneas appears as the
reverentially dutiful son, and the courteous, ehivalric prince. C. in

ARGUMENT.

AENEAS having landed at Cumae, seeks the cave of the Sibyl, and
consults the oracle (1—155). He finds the body of Misénus, and per-
forms funeral rites. While seeking fuel for the pile, he discovers the
golden bough, which, as a gift to Proserpina, will gain for him permis-
sion to pass to the Elysian shades, to meet and converse with his father
Anchises. Provided with it, and accompanied by the Sibyl, he reaches
the entrance to the infernal world (156—336). On the hither side of
Styx he meets and converses with the shade of his former pilot, Pali-
nfirus (337-383). Crossing the Styx, he traverses the district occupied
by the spirits of infants, of those who have been unjustly put to death,
and of suicides, and enters the Mourning Fields, tenanted by those who
have died of love. Here Aeneas sees Dido, whom he tries to soothe;
she maintains sullen silence, and at last breaks away (384—476)- In the
region of slain warriors, Deiphobus, among others, presents himself, all

mangled as he was (477—534). Aeneas sees antarus on the left, a huge
fortress, surrounded by a fiery river, and echoing with sounds of tor-
ture. The Siliyl instructs him in all the varieties of punishment which
are here inflicted on the grossly wicked (535—627). He hastens to the
palace of Pluto, and deposits the golden bough. At last he comes to
Elysium, a garden-like region, wrapped in unearthly sunshine. There
are games, and music, and cluiriot-driving, each one following the pur-
suit which was his delight in life. In another part feasting is going
on. Musaeus guides Aeneas to his father (628—678). Having discoursed
on the nature of the soul, and its. purification, Anchises shows Aeneas
the long train of his dcseendants, and of the heroes of Rome, who pass
in review before them, while he enumerates their coming glories (679—
888). Anchises explains to Aeneas what awaits him in Italy, and then
dismisses him and the Sibyl through one of the gates of sleep. Aeneas
goes to his fleet, which he moors at Caiéta.

In this Book, “ all that later Greek religion and philosophy taught
by legend, allegory. and symbol is pressed into the service of poetry,
and made to contribmte to the. production of a grand and impressive
picture. As a climax to the whole, the Pythagorean doctrine of trans-
migration is invoked for the purpose of showing Aeneas the vision of
the future, as he has already seen the vision of the past. He beholds
the spirits that are to appear as actors in the great drama. of Roman
history, each even now wearing his historical form: and the line of
worthics ends with the young hope of the nation, whose untimely death
was still fresh in the memory of his countrymen when the poet wrote.” C.

AENEAS sails from Caiéta, and enters the mouth of the Tiber (1—36).
A: invocation to the muse (37—45). The ancient condition of Latium
is described, and the omens detailed which heralded the approach ofa
foreign enemy, and the accession of a new dynasty (45—106). By the
eating of the cakes which served the Trojans as tables in their hasty
meal after landing, the dreadful prophecy of the Harpy (III. 255, sqq.)
is explained and fulfilled, and Aeneas is assured that his wanderings
are to cease. He accordingly sends an embassy to Latinas, king of La-
tium, to ask permission to found a. city (107—159). The deputies are
kindly received, and Lavinia, the daughter of Latinus, promised to
Aeneas in marriage (160—285). Meanwhile, Alecto, being summoned
from the shades by Juno, rcuses to indignation Amita, the wife of La-
tinus, and after her Turnus, king of the Rutfili, who had been espoused
to Lavinia; and then directing her course to the Trojan youth engaged
in hunting, she leads Ascanius to slay a favorite stag belonging to Tyr-
rheus, the royal shepherd, which act of violence brought on an engage-
ment between the followers of Aeneas and the rustic Latins (287—510).
Almo and Galaesus are slain and brought into the city, but even the
eight of their dead bodies is unable to urge Latinus to declare war.
Juno herself, therefore, usurps the king’s prerogative, and sounds the
war-note far and wide (511—622). The allies of Turnus are then enu—
merated (623—807).

In this Book, Virgil has collected the traditions of the early settle-
ments of Italy, not indeed with chronological exactness, but with that
remarkable knowledge of the history [and geography] of his country,
and attention to correct delineament, for which he is deservedly cele-
brated. S.

they pass in succession with their array of followers, — the legendary

BOOK VIII.

ARGUMENT.

Born parties prepare for the contest, and endeavor to strengthen
themselves by alliances, Turnus applying to Diomédes, and Aeneas to
Evander (1—100). The Trojan chief is kindly received by the king of
Pallantéum, and, being invited to take part in the celebration of the
sacred rites of Hercules, in which Evander and his subjects were then
engaged, he is made acquainted with their origin and institution, and
with the ceremonies necessary to their due observance (101-369).
Evander grants Aeneas a subsidy of four hundred cavalry, under com-
mand of his only son, Pallas. Aeneas sends a part of his forces down the
Tiber to the assistance of Ascanius, While he himself, with the remainder,
crosses to Agylla, a flourishing town of the Tyrrhenians, now at deadly
feud with their banished tyrant (Mczentius) and Turnus, his ally and
protector (454—519). Meantime, Vulcan, at the request of Venus, fabri-
cates armor for Aeneas (370—453). These arms are brought by the
goddess to her son, who is lost in admiration at their wondrous beauty,
and traces with delight, on the heaven—made shield, the glorious deeds
of his descendants (520—731).'

The episode of Cacus (184-275) is an Italian subject, and gives
variety to the poem; While the old legends of Latiuxn, as related by
Evander, and the splendid representations of successive scenes in
Roman history displayed upon the shield, would possess especial
charms for a Roman reader.

ARGUMENT.

TURNUS, taking advantage of the absence of Aeneas, endeavors to
set fire to the Trojan fleet (1—76). The ships, however, are turned into
sea-nymphs by Jupiter, at the solicitation of Cybéle, from whose sacred
grove, on Mount Ida, their timbers had been‘ hewn (77—122). At the
approach of night, Turnus sets watches to prevent a surprise from the
Trojan camp (123—167); while the Trojans, on the other hand, devise
plans to convey to Aeneas an account of their critical situation. Nisus
and Euryalus, having volunteered their services as couriers, set forth
on their perilous expedition, and, after slaying great numbers of the
sleeping Latins, are themselves out down (168—445). Their heads are
fixed on spears and carried before theTrojun camp, to the great sorrow
and consternation of their companions in arms (446—502). Turnus then
attacks Ascanius and his followers, and a. battle, fierce and bloody, is
fought around, and even within, the Trojan encampments (503—818).

Nothing of its kind in all literature surpasses the episode of NISUS
and EURYALUS (176—502) in beauty and pathos.

ARGUMENT.

AN assembly of the gods is held, in which Jupiter deprecates the war
between the Latins and Trojans; but Venus and Juno advocate the
cause of their respective favorites (1—95). Jupiter declares that the
Fates shall decide the fortune ot'the day, without his interference (96—
117). The Latins still heleaguer the Trojan camp, which is valiantly
defended by Aseanius and others (HS—145). Aeneas, having procured
auxiliaries in Etruria, returns to his men with a fleet of thirty ships.
As he descends the. river, he meets the nymphs into whom his former
fleet had been transformed, and from them learns the state of affairs in
the camp (146—255). As he lands his troops, the Rutuli attack him
while his forces are still in confusion. and great slaughter is made on
both sides (256—361). Pallas. son of l‘lrander, does prodigies of valor,
but is at length slain by Turnus (362—509). Aeneas slays many Rotu-
lians as funeral offerings to the shade of his friend, and Ascanius,
making a successful sally from the city. unites his forces with those of
his father (510—605). June. fearing for the life of Turnus, sends a.
phantom of cloud in the guise of Aereas, which, fleeing before the onset
of the Rutnlian. hounds on hoard a ship. and is followed by the pursuer.
Turnus is by this device carried to Ardea. much against his will (606-
688). On the departure of Turnus, Mezentius assumes his place, and,
after dealing death among the Trojan and Etruscan bands, is himself,
along with his son Lausus. slain by Aeneas (689—908).

The scenes of battle in the last three books of the Aeneid are diver-
sified; thus we have in this book the benching of the ships, the disem-

barcation upon the shore, and a fight of the foot-soldiers; in the eleventh,
a. naval battle; in the twelfth, a cavalry fight and a single combat. In
the tenth book the Arcadians especially exhibit their valor, in tho
eleventh the Etrurians, and in the twelfth the Trojans. Councils

ARGUMENT.

AENEAS raises a trophy to Mars over the slain Mezentius, and sends
the dead body of Pallas to leander for the celebration of funeral honors
(1—99). A truec fol-twelve days is granted by the Trojans to the solic—
itations of the Latins, for the burial of the (lead, in which duty both
parties occupy themselves (llltLL’24). Vcnfilus, who had been sent on
an embassy to Diomedes to beg assistance, returns with an unfavorable
reply; and Latinus, ballled in this hope, proposes, in a council of war,
to send ambassadors to Aeneas to sue for peace (225—335). While
Drances and Tux-nus indulge in mutual recrimination, Aeneas prepares
an attack on' the city; and this becoming known at Laurentum, the
council is dismissed, and steps taken to defend the town (336—485).
Turnus devises measures to defeat the object of Aeneas, and to sur-
prise him by an amhuseade (486- .5321). The history of Camilla (532-
596). The cavalry battle is deserihed, as also the deeds and death of
Camilla (597—835). Aruns, the slayer of Camilla, does not long enjoy '
his triumph, but he in turn is killed by an arrow discharged by one of
Diana’s cmissarics. rl‘he Rutulians, disheartened by the death of Ca-
milla, take to flight, and the Trojans prepare to besiege the town (836-
395). Turnus, when he hears the fatal news, hastens from the place
where he had concealed himself in ambush; but the night being near
at hand. both parties suspend operations, and encamp before Lauren-
tum (896—915).

Undoubtedly poets are often influenced to take such licenses by metrical
considerations, in part. The rhetorical effect of the use of the indie. is
to represent the apodosis as beyond all doubt: certainly I should not
have come. A similar rhetorical effect is seen in the use of fuerat (line
115). —H.uic morti, i. e. the death in battle which these innocent men

ARGUMENT.

TURNUS seeing that after the two defeats of the Latins all hope is
centred in him, determines to engage with Aeneas. in single combat,
and sends a message to him to that efi'ect (1—106). Aeneas with delight
accepts the challenge, and an agreement is made between the two
armies, and sanctioned by an oath (107—215). By the wiles of June,
however, the treaty is violated, the augur Tclumnius having wounded
a. hero on the Trojan side (216—276). Both parties rush to arms, and
Aeneas while endeavoring to restrain his men is wounded by an unseen
hand, and obliged to retire from the battle-field (277—323). Turnus
takes advantage of the absence of his rival from the fight, to slay great
numbers of the Trojans and their allies (324—382). But meanwhile
Venus plucks an herb froth the Cretan Ida, and heals her son, who now
recruited in strength returns to the conflict and loudly calls on Turnus
to fulfil his former engagement (383—445). Turnus, however, is kept
away by his sister Juturna from that part of the field where Aeneas is
known to be, and Aeneas being unable to find him slays many of those
whom chance opposed to him, and commences an assault on the city
(446-592). Turnus, hearing that Amata has in her despair committed
suicide, and seeing that matters have come to the last extremity, renews
his challenge to Aeneas (593—096). In the combat Aeneas is victorious.
He is about to spare his prostrate foe, when he sees on his shoulder the
baldrie of the Arcadian Pallas, and, furious with wrath, he slays the
slayer of his friend (696—952).

“The fates of the combatants have been balanced by Jupiter, and
we know that in a short time the only obstacle that keeps Aeneas from
his destined empire will be removed by Turnus’s death. Yet that brief
space only serves to intensify our interest for the doomed man; our
wishes lend him wings as he is flying for his life. and calling by name
on each of his terrified comrades: and we echo the agenized prayer in
which he implores the gods of his native land to hold fast Aeneas’s
Spear. We follow Turnus through the few remaining stages of helpless
effort, dreamy bewilderment, and final overthrow, feeling that till he is
dead we can spare no thoughts for the conqueror and the fruits of his
victrry.” C.

(394)

BOOK x11. 395

Turnus is only conquered at the last by “an array of supernatural
force and fraud.” “Thy hot words, presumptuous man ! ”— he says to
his antagonist—“daunt me not; the gods daunt me, and Jupiter my
foe.” Yet to the Romans, the destined founder of their state was — as
. a thing of course~——the nobler hero, as well as his the better cause:
Turnus falls, as fall the enemies of Rome, in fit retribution for lifting
his hand against the favorite of heaven. Nor must we pass unnoticed
the admirable skill with which the poet at the end changes our sym-
pathy with the Italian hero into indignation, by calling up the image
of the youthful Pallas, slain by his relentless hand.

AFTER thoroughly learning 11. 671—675 and 608—669, or A. JD S. 310
and 282-309, the student will be prepared to study and enjoy the ox-
quisitc metre of Virgil. The well-known lines, -

“ Strongly it | bears us a I long. in I swelling and I limitless I billows,
Nothing be I fore, and | nothing he I hind, but the I sky and the | ocean,”—

but shadow forth one phase of the manifold capacities of the heroic
measure which Virgil employs with equal success to produce etfects the
most diverse.

The chief difficulties in scanning the Aeneid (which have not been
already explained in the Notes) are. solved in the following table. For
explanation of technical terms, consult the Grammar by the aid of the
Index: for slit-{on see synalocpha : for lengthening of the syllable in the
arsis, see man? and diautulcmnd A. S; S 309, (1.) See also my Remarks
at the end of this Index, with reference to Arsis, Hiatus (or non-elision
ofa vowel before another vowel), and other points worthy of notice. Syn-
apheia is “ such a connection of two consecutive verses that the first syl-
lable of thclutter verse has an influence on the final syllable of that
which precedes, either by position, synuloepha, or echthlipsis.”

REMARKS

UPON SOME POINTS OF

CLASSICAL VERSIFICATION.

-—o-o';0!_oo——_

I. Quantity and Accent.

THE structure of Verse, in Latin and Greek, is founded on the
different quantity of the syllables, as long or short; in English,
on the contrary, and other modern languages, the laws of versi-
fication refer to the acconlualz'on or non~accentuation of the syl-
lable. Even in the prose pronunciation of Greek and Latin, the
accent, while carefully observed, was quite subordinate, and is
never named in speaking of rhetorical euphony, while, on the
other hand, the distinction of quantity was distinctly and strongly
marked; in poetry, accordingly, the verse was audibly distin—
guished by the alternation of the long and short syllables. As it
is not possible for us, either in prose or verse, to pronounce the
words according to their quantity with such precision and in
such a way as the ancients did, we cannot recite their poetry cor-
rectly, but are forced to give their verses a certain resemblance
to ours by laying an accent on the Arsis; whereas the ancients
simply indicated the arsis by the length of the syllable, not raising
the voice, but only prolonging the sound.

While in the recitation of verse the metrical intonation pree-
dominated, it did not entirely suppress the ordinary accent of
words. Even now a delicate ear can often feel a subtile beauty
in the relations, in ancient poetry, of the subordinate effects of
accent with the metrical beat of the line ; and even in English read-
ing of Greek or Latin verse, the best method combines a primary

regard for the rhythm with a certain attention to the accent.
(405)

406 CLASSICAL VERSIFICATION.

II. The Heroic Hexameter.

From .its sustained and continuous flow, the dactylic hexam-
eter is the verse best adapted to a uniformly progressive exhi-
bition of events, and is therefore used in narrative (or epic)
poems, and in didactic poems, satires, and poetical epistles.

III. Caesura and Gaesural Pause.

The beauty of an hexameter line depends very much upon the
proper observance of the caesural pause in recitation. The
pause most natural and most. common is that in the third foot.
A pause in the fourth, however, is considered as a beauty,
when, at the same time, there is a less considerable caesura in
the second foot; e. g.

Italiam i fato profugns ii Laviniaqne venit.

Caesura itself greatly contributes to the euphonic flow of the
verse. The student will grow familiar with its varieties by his
own observation, aided by his grammar. I may call attention
to the effect of “the seeming contest between the words and the
verse” which appears in the t‘oot-eaesuras in such lines as the
following:

Una sa | lus vic | tis nul | lam spa | rare ea [ lutem.

A pause of sense often determines for us the principal caesura,
to be observed in recitation.

The expression of the verse is affected by the place of the
caesura. In general, the earlier caesuras give to the verse more
vivacity; the later, more gravity.

The first foot of each verse tsays W.) is fitted for strong and
emphatic expressions. because at the beginning of a line, when
we have taken a fresh supply of breath. we use a full and pow—
erful voice. which. if not roused anew. falls away in the middle
and end of the verse. We must take care, therefore, that we do
not diminish this force of the voice, which would be the result
did we make a pause after the tirst foot. Sometimes. however,
the very harshness ot‘ the incision? in this place lends vigor and
expressiveness to the verse. as Aen. I. 135, Qmm ego; and IV,
237, Naviget.’ A pause after a spondee in the first. foot is

*‘ See. note p. 409.

CLASSICAL VERSIFICATION. 407

rugged and inelegant; it may be used, however, to lay great
emphasis on the spondaic word, as Aen. III. 636, Ingens.

IV. Lengthening of a. Syllable by the Arsis.*

The so-called lengthening by the arsis, rests, as a tolerated
license, on the circumstance, that in defined places in certain
verses the reader expects and requires a long syllable, and hence if
the poet, within certain limits, allows himself to use a short one,
is not misled by it, but modifies the pronunciation of the syllable
in respect of the quantity in such a way, that the requirements
of the verse are in a manner satisfied. This license therefore is
analogous to the occasional accentuation of unaccented syllables
in modern verse. It is not frequent, except in the short final
syllable of dissyllabic or polysyllabic words ending in a conso-
nant, and especially when the force of the arsis is aided by the
principal caesura of the verse. Final syllables ending in a vowel
are much less frequently “lengthened” by the arsis. This
occurs often, however, with the enclitic —que in the second (or
fourth) foot of the hexameter, commonly supported by the
caesura. Short monosyllabic words are never lengthened by
the arsis. M. and Z.

V. Hiatus.

Virgil allows himself an hiatus, (2'. e. forbears to elide a vowel
before another vowel,) first, in the arsis of the second, third,
fourth, or fifth foot, especially in proper names followed by a
mark of punctuation or when the same vowel is the initial of the
following word; secondly, in the thesis, when in accordance with
Greek precedents a long vowel or diphthong is shortened, especially
in the case of proper names and interjections: with short vowels
in the thesis. hiatus occurs only before a strong mark of pun0<
tuation (e. g. Aen. I. 405).

Hiatus in Virgil is often found in those lines which are formed
on a Greek model, i. e., those which terminate in a quadrisyllable,
(and this, moreover, is frequently of Greek origin,) or which
have a spondaic ending. This is to be attributed to the poet’s
fon’lness for imitating his great masters. ——L. and W.

* See note, p. 409.

408 CLASSICAL VERSIFICATION.

VI. Synizésis or Synaer‘ésis.

SynizEsis (or Synaeré’sis) occurs in Virgil much less frequently
than in the earlier Roman poets. Except in proper names, he
uses it chiefly with an (as in the different forms ofthe verb deesse),
ei (as ferrez', antcirent), e0 (as alveo, aureo); seldom with ea (as
aurea, ocreas).

The ancient grammarians referred to synizesis the cases where
i and u pass over into the consonants j and v (pronounced like the
English y and w) and lengthen the preceding syllable: e, g.pa‘r-
jeu'bus, abjele, omnja, fluzy’orum, gcnva, tennis. In the case of verbs,
the only instances in Virgil are .prccan/ja (Aen. VII. 237) and
my'etat (Acn. XI. 890‘). A contraction of uu occurs in curruum
(Aen. VI. 653), and, according to some editors, in manam (manuum)
Aen. VII. 490.

VII. Tmesis.

Tmesis is the separation of the component parts of a compound
word by an intervening word or words. It may be resorted to
from metrical considerations. In Virgil, with the exception of
terms and dissyllabic propositions which may be used adver-
bially, (as super, dream, and prm’lcr,) it occurs only in the separa~
tion of a preposition by an appended —que from the word of which
it is a part, e. g. z'ngue salutalam (Aen. IX. 288).

VIII. Hypermeter Verses.

Virgil sometimes introduces a line containing a syllable beyond
the number requisite for the metre; this syllable, however, ends
in a vowel or in m preceded by a vowel, and is elided before the
initial vowel of the following line. Such lines are sometimes
effective as denoting that. the speaker is carried on beyond bounds
by his excitement, or breaks ofl‘ leaving something still unsaid;
or simply as giving an emphatic ending to the sentence. See
note on Aen. IV. 629 (page 354,) and of. VII. 470. In the Georgie-8 I.
295, the boiling over of a liquid is described in an hypermeter verse.

Ennius was fond of hypermeter lines; and Virgil may have
used them partly on account of their archaic sound.

CLASSICAL VERSIFICATION. 409

Archaic Forms.

Virgil makes a moderate and judicious use of a few archaic
forms, the charm of which to the Roman reader we can assist
ourselves in appreciating by calling to mind similar instances in
our own poets. Such are the forms ast, quianam, eel quum (Aen.
XI. 406), ni (for ne, Aen. III. 685), olli (for illi), ollz's, the genitive
in ai, dii for diei, the dative in u, the inf. pass. in ier,fuat,faxo,
jusso, the omission of the vowel in short syllables, as in repostus,
periclum, asprz's, and the conjugation of verbs in accordance with
the forms of the third (as the oldest and original) conjugation, as
lavEre (for lavdre), fervé’re (for fervére), fulgé‘re, stridé're, politur.

These archaisms are often introduced from the exigences of
the metre.

Note to Q III.

Incision is the coincidence of the end of the foot with the end of
the word.

Note to 5 IV.
In many cases the final syllables, whose quantity is ordinarily ex—
plained as “lengthened by the arsis,” were originally long, and are so
found in the older poets, particularly Ennius.

5" This Index is designed to give additional information to that contained in
the Notes and in Andrews’s Lexicon.

Some names are omitted, as suilieiently explained by the context in the poem
itself; (e. g. Avcnlinus. Yll. 657 ;) others, taken from Homer or coined by Virgil,
as of no historical or literary importance.

The student will remember that ae (as in Aeneas) and 08 (as in Boeotin,
Coeus) are pronounced like e.

Abella, a city of Campania, N. E. of Nola.

Acestes. I. 195, V. 38, notes.

Achéron, a river of the lower world (VI. 295, note); used sometimes
for the lower world itself. sometimes for the infernal gods and the manes.

Achilles. I. 99, note. The Homeric tradition represents Achilles as
slain in the battle at the Scaean gate, before Troy was taken. Virgil
(VI. 57) makes Apollo direct the weapon of Paris which caused his
death, in accordance with the prediction of the dying Hector (Iliad,
xxii. 359 sq.)

Adrastus having given one of his daughters in marriage to Tydeus
of Calydon, another to Polyniees ot‘ Thebes, both fugitives from their
native lands. promised to lead each of these princes back to his own
country. Hence arose. the celebrated war of the “Seven against
Thebes.” Of the seven heroes. Virgil mentions Adrastus, Partheno-
pacus, and Tydeus (VI. 479 sq.) The war was unsuccessful, and Adras-
tus was the sole survivor of the seven.

Aegaeon. called by the gods Bri—firreus; a giant, with a hundred
arms and fifty heads; son of Uranus (Caelus) and Gaea (Terra). Pos—
sibly Virgil (VI. 287) is to be understood as giving him a hundred
heads. Ho and his brothers must be regarded as personifications of the
extraordinary powers of nature, such as those which produce earth-
quakes and volcanic eruptions.

Aeneas. Old traditions, differing somewhat from Virgil’s story, rep-
resent that, after Aeneas had founded Lavinium, a new war followed
between Latinus and Turnus. in which both chiefs fell, whereupon

Aeneas became sole ruler of the Aborigines and Trojans, and both
nations were united into one. Soon after this Aeneas was slain in a
battle with the Rutulians, who were assisted by Mezentius. King of the
Etruscans. As his body was not found after the battle, it was believed
that it had been carried up to heaven, or that he had perished in the
river Numicius.

The fulfilment of Dido’s imprecations (IV. 612—620) is thus stated by
Conington: “Aeneas does meet with opposition (Book VII); he has to
leave Ascanius in the camp and entreat aid from Evander (Books VIII
and IX); the final peace involves concessions to the Latins and the
extinction of the Trojan name (Book XII); while his death, according
to one legend, happened when he had reigned only three years, and his
body, if not left ‘media. arena,’ did not meet with burial.” And yet
Aeneas’s career after reaching Italy would have been felt to be, upon
the whole, “a prosperous one.”

The story of Aeneas is not to be considered as historically true. He
is himself “the personified idea of the common origin of the people of
Latium and all the places which he is said to have founded,” in all of
which the Idaean Venus was worshipped.

Agrippa, M. Vipsanius, commanded the fleet of Augustus at the
battle of Actium; the victory was mainly owing to his skill.

Aloidae. Otus and Ephialtcs, who, when they were nine years old,
measured each nine cubits in breadth and twenty-seven in height. They
threatened the Olympian gods with war, and attempted to pile Ossa
upon Olympus and Pclion upon Ossa, but were slain by Apollo. o

Anchemalus, son of Rhoetus king of the Marrubii.

Ancus (Marcius), fourth king of Rome.

Antenoridae. The three sons of Anté'nor (VI. 484) were Polybus,
Agénor, and Ac‘amas. The two latter were among the bravest of the
Trojans (Iliad, xi. 59).

Araxes, a river in Armenia Major, (now the Eras/ch or Aras,) pro-
verbial for the force of its current. Virgil says, pontem indignatus
Araxes, with special reference to the failure of both Xerxes and Alex-
ander in throwing a bridge over it.

Bri-a‘i-reus. Sec Aegaeon.

Caecfilus, the builder of Praeneste; “found on the hearth,” and
deemed the son of Vulcan. Name allied with Kaiw. [Prellen]

Caiéta, written Cajun in Lex.

Cato. The Censor (VI. 841).—Uticensis (VIII. 670.)

Cerbérus, the'three-headed dog that guarded the entrance of the

ower world.

412 INDEX or PROPER NAMES.

Coeus was one of the Titans, sons of Heaven and Earth. “Virgil
seems (IV. 179) to confuse Titans and Giants, Enceladus being aGiant;
though he may merely mean that Fame, like the Titans and the Giants,
was the offspring of Earth.”

Cures, a town of the Sabines, birthplace of Numa Pompilius, the
second king of Rome.

Eriflus, or HerIlus, king of Praeneste, and son of Feronia, who gave
him three lives.

Evander. Preller considers this name (“the good man”) as a Greek
adaptation of the Latin Faunus, “ the good, the favorable one,” (from
frweo, as Faustus, Faustulus, Favonius.)

Falisci. See Ilulacsua. In VII. 695, I follow Serv., L., R., Com,
Hoffmann, Peerlknmp, in considering aequos as no part of the proper
name, but as signifying “ the just.”

Gradivus, an epithet of Mars from his impetuous stride in battle.

Halaesus, or Falésus, the founder of the Falisci, and of the city
Falerii. He was the son of a soothsayer, and the ally of Turnus, and
was slain by Evandcr. He came to Italy from Argos, whence he is
called Agamemnonius, Atrides, or Argolicus. Virgil brings him from
Campania, so that it is not unlikely that the Greek fathers of the
Falisci settled first in that part of Italy.

Hecate, an ancient Thracian divinity, and a Titan, was at length
confounded and identified with several other divinities, (as Ceres, Pro-
serpina, and Diana,) and became a mystic goddess. With functions in
heavenhearth, and Kudos, she was particularly a deity of the lower
world. She ruled over the souls of the departed, and was the goddess
of purifications and expiations. By night, she sent from Hades all
kinds of demons and phantoms. She taught sorcery and magic arts.
Styginn dogs accompanied her, and her approach is announced by their
howling.

Hicetaonius, son of IIicetfion.

Ilium, Ilion, or Ilios, another name for Troja. The name (“city
of Ilus”) was said to be derived from Ilus, the reputed founder of the
city, and the name Troy (“ city of 'l‘ros ”) from that of Tros, his father.

Janicfilum, a fortress erected by Janus on the Mons Janiciilus, a
high hill on the right bank of the Tiber, much higher than any of the
hills of the city proper; (not “one of the seven hills of Rome,” as
Andrews wrongly says in his Lox.)

Marcellus, M. Claudius, (VI. 855,) the conqueror of Syracuse. He
distinguished himself in the war with the Gauls, and slow with his own
hand their king, Britomartus or Viridomarus, thus gaining the «polio

opium, — (a term applied to those spoils only which a commander-in-
ehief of a Roman army stripped in a field of battle from the leader of
the foe.) He was slain in a. battle with Hannibal near Venusia. A
brave warrior, called from his impetuous valor “the sword of the
Romans,” as Fabius, on the other hand, was called their “ shield.”

Marcellus, M. Claudius, (VI. 860—886,) son of C. Marcellus and of
Octavia, the sister of Augustus, was born B. C. 43. Augustus, who
had probably destined him as his successor, adopted him as his son
in 25, and at the same time gave him his daughter Julia in marriage.
His premature death, in the twentieth year of his age, was mourned as
a. public calamity; such promise had be given of future excellence.
Augustus himself pronounced the funeral oration over his remains,
which were deposited in a mausoleum lately erected for the Julian family.

Nysa, or Nyssa, the legendary scene of the nurture of Dionysus or
Bacchus. In VI. 805, a supposed mountain in India, near which was
a. city of like name.

Oechali'a. There were five towns of this name in Greece, each of
which claimed to have been the residence of Eurytus, who was con-
quered by Hercules. K. 0. Miiller thinks that the Oechalia in Thessaly
was the city of the original fable.

Phaéthon, after much importunity, was intrusted by his father
Helios (or Apollo, in the Roman poets) with the chariot of the sun for
one day; but being too weak to check the horses, they rushed out of
their usual track, and came so near the earth as to patch the soil of
Libya, turn the Ethiopians black, and nearly set the world on fire. To
avert such a calamity, Jupiter struck him with a thunderbolt, and he.
fell lifeless into the Po.

Phlegyas set fire to the temple at Delphi, for which ofl'ence he was
slain by the arrows of Apollo, and punished in the lower world.

Phorbas (V. 842), a son of Priam, killed during the Trojan war by
Menelaus.

Phrygia, in Virgil, is applied to Phrygia on the Hellespont, or
Phrygia Minor.

Quirinus, the Sabine Mars, ancestral god of Cures and its citizens,
the Quirites, as was the Alban Mars of the first Romans on the Palatine
hill. The name is afterwards identified with the deified Romulus, whom
in Virgil it always denotes. It is derived from qm'ris or curis, a Sabine
word meaning a. spear, which was the symbol both of the Sabine and
the Latin Mars. (So Port, Mommsen, Preller. On the other hand,
Lange and G. Curtius refer it to the same root as curia and the Greek

copes, xv5pm;, etc.)

414 INDEX OF PROPER NAMES.

Rhoetéum, a promontory, or rather a rocky headland, in Mysia. or
Troas, at the entrance of the IIellespont, north of Ilion.

Sal-mB-neus built the town of Salmone in Elis. He deemed himself
equal to Jupiter, and ordered sacrifices to be ofl‘ered to himself. To
imitate the thunder, he used to drive his brazen chariot over a brazen
bridge, and darted burning torches on every side to representlightning.
For his fate, see VI. 585 sqq.

Scaea porta, the Scaean gate of Troy, which led to the camp of the
Greeks. The origin of this name (lit. the left gate) is unknown,
“though it may have reference to the manner in which the signs in the
heavens were observed; for, during this process, the priest turned his
face to the north, so that the north-west would be on his left. hand.”

Sibylla. The connection of the Sibyls with Apollo, the noblest of
false gods, is noteworthy.

Tarquinius Priscus, the fifth king, and Tarquinius Superbus, the
seventh king of Rome. The two are alluded to, VI. 817; reference is
made to Tarquinius Super-bus, VIII. 646.

Theseus descended to the lower world in company with his friend
Pirithoiis, to aid the latter in his attempt to seize Proserpina and carry
her away as his bride. The two were seized by Pluto and fastened to
a. rock; or Theseus was made to sit on an enchanted chair which would
not allow him to rise. According to the ordinary legend, Hercules
released Theseus, when he visited the shades; Virgil (VI. 617) pur.
posely varies the story. or follows another legend.

Tibur (the modern Tit-011') is of the neat. gender. Andrews (Lex.)
calls it masc.,—-—a misprint.

Vergilius, P., Mare, was born B. C. 70, in the first consulship of Cu.
Pompeius Magnus and M. Licinius Crassus. His friend, the poet Hor-
ace, was born B. C. 65; and Octavianus Caesar, afterwards the Emperor
Augustus, and his patron, in B. C. 63, in the consulship of M. Tullius
Cicero.

At the time when Virgil was born, Cisalpine Gaul (in which his
native village lies) was not included within the term “Italy,” and it
was not until B. C. 89 that a Lex Pompeia gave even the Jns Latii to
the inhabitants of Gallia 'I‘ranspadana, and the privilege of obtaining
Roman citizenship by filling a magistraey in their own cities. The
citizenship was not given the Transpadani till B. C. 49. Virgil therefore
was not a Roman citizen by birth, and he was above twenty years of
age before the “ eivitas” was extended to Gallia Transpadana.

When Augustus was in Spain. I}. C. 27, he wrote to Virgil to express
his wish to have some monument of his poetical talent. A short reply

INDEX OF PROPER NAMES. 415

of Virgil is preserved, in which he says, “ with respect to my Aeneas.
if it were in a fit shape for thy reading, I would gladly send the poem;
but the thing is only just begun; and indeed it seems something like
folly to have undertaken so great a work, especially when, as thou
knowest, I am applying to it other studies, and those of much greater
importance.”

The following inscription is said to have been placed on Virgil’s

tomb:
“Mantua me genuit, Calabri rapuere, tenet nunc

Parthenope. Cecini pascua, rura, duces.”

Vesta, goddess of the fixed hearth and its fire, as the centre of house-
hold life, and, in a wider sense, of the state as a permanent community
of households. Fire and water, as great essentials of domestic life,
were used in her service. She is naturally associated closely with the
Penates. Her name, like the Greek ’Ezm'a, is derived from a root
(represented in Sanscrit by vas,) signifying to dwell, to abide.

Homoe—
SUGGESTIONS T0 STUDENTS.

THE arrangement of words in Latin poetry being more complicated
than in prose, care is needed, in translating, to select first the subject of
the sentence, then the modifiers of the subject, then the verb, with its
object,and whatever modifiers of the predicate may be attached. In
making these selections, it will be necessary to observe closely the sig-
nificance of the terminations which distinguish different cases, numbers,
genders, persons, moods, and tenses.

The syntax of Virgil differs in some points from that of Caesar and
Cicero: e. g. in the omission of prepositions both before the ace. in answer
to the question whither, and before the ab]. in answer to the questions
where and whence; secondly, in a. fondness for the use of the datiue, to
express various relations somewhat indirectly or delicately, which are
expressed more simply in ordinary prose by other constructions;£55 thirdly,
in the frequent use of the indie., for liveliness, instead of the subj., in
conditional sentences: and moreover in other particulars, explained in
the Notes and in the grammars.

’ The delicate beauty of the use of the dat. of advantage instead of the bald 31)].
of separation. may be seen in EC]. IV. 41, and VII. 47. where Conmgton strangely
thinks that the dat. is "almost nndistinguishable” from the abl. To speak of
taking something away “ to the advantage of,” “ to the comfort of,” or “ in behalf

of” a person. is certainly more si nificant than to say simply to take from. See
my note on I. 92, p. 23:9, a . R Y
