Synopsis: Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro), born in 70 BCE near Mantua, was educated in Cremona, Milan, and Rome. Known for his thoughtful nature and delicate health, he sought a quieter life in the north, where he was influenced by local poets. His first notable work is the "Eclogues," a collection of ten bucolic poems exploring pastoral life and love, inspired by Theocritus. He later composed the "Georgics," a didactic poem in four books focused on agriculture, livestock, and beekeeping. Virgil's most significant work, the "Aeneid," an epic detailing Rome's origins through the story of Aeneas, was inspired by Emperor Augustus and reflects a deep Roman spirit. Though Virgil intended to finish the "Aeneid" before his death in 19 BCE, it was published posthumously despite his wishes for its destruction. The Loeb Classical Library edition includes two volumes of his works.
