Gylippus in Virgil, Aeneid 12 and Literary Laconians
Classical Quarterly 73 (2):742-748 (2023)
Abstract
This note examines the significance of Gylippus at Aen. 12.271–83 and argues that Virgil's narrative is an epitaphic gesture alluding to Nicander of Colophon, Anth. Pal. 7.435 and other epigrams from Anth. Pal. 7. Virgil's bilingual reader would participate in the Hellenistic Ergänzungsspiel and supplement further meaning to this otherwise generic scene.Other Versions
