Bryn Mawr Classical Review 1999.11.10 (1611 words) |
| The proem is significantly delayed to follow, first, the epigraph for Caieta, a figure otherwise unmentioned in the poem; the description of Circe, whom Aeneas and his men bypass; and Aeneas' arrival at the Tiber. |
| Since Vergil makes no allusion to the Sirens' song, but only to the bones of the dead who succumbed to their attraction, he is alluding to time after the death of the Sirens and suggesting thereby that the poet and his hero have outgrown the traditional, Homeric sources symbolized by the Sirens. |
| As Caieta is left behind by Aeneas, so the poet may be seen to leave behind practices of Hellenistic poetry. |
