In this classic study, Brooks Otis presents Virgil as a radically different poet from any of his Greek or Roman predecessors. Virgil molded the ancient epic tradition to his own Roman contemporary aims and succeeded in making mythical and legendary figures meaningful to a sophisticated, unmythical age. Otis begins and ends his study with the Aeneid and includes chapters on the Bucolics and the Georgics. A new foreword by Ward W. Briggs, Jr., places Otiss groundbreaking achievement in the context of past and present Virgilian scholarship.

In those three years many works on Virgil were published: Friedrich Klingner's Virgils Georgica (Zurich, 1963), G. N. Knauer's Die Aeneis und Homer (Gttingen, 1964), the second edition of Viktor Pschl's Die Dichtkunst Virgils (Wiesbaden, 1964); R. G. Austin's commentary on Aeneid 2 (Oxford, 1964), and Michael Putnam's The Poetry of the Aeneid
