Description

VIRGIL'S DREAM OF AENEAS AND HOMER by Art Aeon is a fictional narrative poem in tercet stanza. It unfolds the imaginary dialogues between Augustus (63 BCE-14 CE), the first Roman emperor, and Varius Rufus (74-14 BCE), a literary executor of the great Roman poet Publius Vergilius Maro (70-19 BCE), known as Virgil. Varius reports the untimely death of Virgil to Augustus, and reveals that he keeps the Virgil's unpublished manuscript of the Aeneid. At the sincere request of the emperor, Varius relates a pithy gist of the first six books of the Aeneid, and what Virgil told him at his death about his numinous last dream on how the spirit of Aeneas guided Virgil to Elysium to meet with the spirit of Homer, and to discuss on epic poetry. After their earnest enlightening discussions, Virgil was convinced that his Aeneid was ready to see the light. Finally Virgil requested Varius to publish the Aeneid as he had entrusted it to him before he left Rome to Greece for its improvement, and gently passed away in peace.
